Maybe the police can volunteer to take control of it until the family sort it out.

They need to be treated with HCi to remove all the oil, then an epoxy primer from TOA, and a top coat from rust-oleum.

 

No rust on the gutters itself yet, but many leaks where they were welded

Thanks. Unfortunately all this will need to be done after the installation. Which may well be impossible. 

What is HCi? 

I presume that the primer and top coat from Rustoleum with be brush on, and not available in spray cans?

As for leaks at the welds, would putting on a silicone sealant (or similar) after installation help?

(Open Questions, not only to BenStark :) ) 

They are currently installing these ones.

In this position. 

It's a bit of a quick fix job.

With regualr cleaning and maintenance, 5 years would be okay before putting proper ones on properly. 

If needing to prime and paint them, is there a recommended primer and paint that people can recommend? 

Do they needed to be sanded first, or just put on the primer with a brush all over them?

Our original zinc-plated gutters lasted about 5 years, they were primed and painted on installation (get the right primer) which I'm sure helped avoid too much rust.

 

They were replaced by nice, shiny stainless ones of the same format which are still shiny 7 years on, I expect them to outlast me.

What was the approx price different (in %) between the zinc plated gutters and the SS ones.

We've been offered Zinc gutters, 250 baht a meter installed.

Any experiences?

The lip of the roof tiles are approx. 8 inches from the edge of the awning. 

Is this an issue, or is it normal, and the holding brackets will hold the guttering 8 out to start at the lip of the tiles?

1000 baht per year sounds like fantastic value. :)

I planned on doing the exact same.

I must have examined thousands of maps of tassie in fine detail, but have yet to decide which to buy. 

Homepro is selling these, 3 meters for 550 baht. Vinyl.

pretty slim and unobtrusive

Thanks.

We aren't bothered about how it looks or if it is obtrusive, it's definitely a function over form task. 

That said, it done entire out of bright blue PVC plumbers pipe mightn't look the best. 

We want to install guttering on the back and both sides of a house. We don't believe there are drains under ground built for the purpose, so would have them empty into big pots or bins. One on one side, one for the back and side.

I presume the bigger is better for the guttering, i believe there are 3 inch and 5 inch varieties. 

PVC, plastic, or metal is best?

One side would be around 12 meters with one downpipe going into a big pot.

The rear would be around 12 meters, then a right angle going on to the side of the house, maybe 24 meters, with one down pipe near the middle of the side section going down into a pot.

I don't believe it's a very complicated job.

Either buying a ladder and pieces and doing it myself, or getting a crew to do it.

Which materials are recommended?

What would the estimated price be?

TIA.
