Box Gutter & Downpipe Replacement
Remove and replace deteriorated box gutters and downpipes with high-capacity, corrosion-resistant systems designed to handle heavy Australian rainfall and prevent overflow-related damage.

Box gutters and downpipes form the circulatory system of a roof, channelling water away from the building quickly and efficiently. When they fail — whether due to corrosion, poor fall, blockage, or undersized design — the result is often catastrophic water ingress that can damage structural framing, ceiling systems, insulation, and electrical components.

Atomic Projects approaches gutter and downpipe replacement as a precision-engineered drainage upgrade, not just a swap-out. We ensure your new system meets current capacity standards, environmental conditions, and long-term maintenance requirements.

Our Gutter & Downpipe Replacement Process

  1. Condition Assessment
    • Inspect for rust perforation, sealant breakdown, misalignment, or inadequate falls.
    • Check for incorrect sizing or outdated capacity that fails under modern storm events.
  2. Capacity & Compliance Upgrade
    • Design systems to meet AS/NZS 3500.3 and handle the site’s actual rainfall intensity.
    • Increase gutter depth, width, and sump size where required to improve flow.
  3. Removal & Substrate Repair
    • Carefully remove old gutters to prevent damage to fascia or roof sheeting.
    • Repair or replace any rotted timber or corroded steel supports before refitting.
  4. New Gutter Installation
    • Fit Colorbond, stainless steel, or aluminium for superior corrosion resistance.
    • Ensure correct falls toward outlets and install overflow provisions for extreme weather.
  5. Downpipe Replacement
    • Replace with matching high-capacity pipes sized for the gutter’s output.
    • Route to lawful discharge points to prevent foundation saturation or erosion.
  6. Junction & Flashing Detailing
    • Seal joints with high-performance neutral cure silicone or riveted seams for longevity.
    • Integrate with roof flashings to ensure a watertight transition.
  7. Testing & Quality Assurance
    • Perform controlled water testing to verify free-flowing drainage.
    • Provide completion photos and maintenance recommendations.

Signs You Need Gutter & Downpipe Replacement

  • Water overflowing during moderate rain.
  • Staining or rust streaks along fascia and walls.
  • Sagging, misaligned, or visibly corroded gutter sections.
  • Leaks at joints or gutter ends.
  • Water pooling near building foundations.
