Internal gutters

[surf09]

Hi there

Regarding internal metal gutters for residential properties.

How long do they last before it needs to be replaced?

Thanks

No simple answer.

If water sits in it after rain;
if in an area close-ish to the sea;
if debris (leaves, dirt, etc.) sits in clumps and remain damp after rain;
. . . . not long. Maybe ten or so years.

It was expensive, but when I last replaced mine, I specified stainless steel, so that will last for decades.

Can you replace with regular guttering or are you stuck with them for life?
I saw a place with them and a bunch of trees from a reserve were hanging over it so I couldn't work out how you'd keep them clear.
