    Painting gutters

    Can the colour you paint a guttering help with its longevity? For example, some colours reflect the sun more and some absorb heat more, so could colours on a gutter that reflect more heat mean they’ll experience less heat damage and last longer? Or will these benefits be negligible?

    Outdoor Smell coming from drain

    We have a square outdoor grid hopper with a kitchen sink draining into it. It smells in the summer and have had it inspected by a drain engineer with a camera. He has told us that there is nothing wrong with the drain however the smell venting back up is really bad. How can we solve this issue? Is it because it hasn't got a proper trap to stop the smell?

    Aluminium gutters

    Is seamless aluminium guttering any good? What are the pros and cons of this type of guttering? If I get it installed, will I need to undertake any maintenance work or should it be okay? What do you think? Thanks for your time!
