Guttering overflow issues

[Time Waster]

I've had a few issues over the last couple of years with our guttering. First up broken supports, second clogging downpipe due to blockage at water butt splitter and end cap issues (downpipe is foot in from end of gutter). All sorted.

Now we've got drips on two spots. One is a foot or so from the downpipe above the water butt. Second a bit further away from the downpipe. Thirdly from the join between the last foot of the gutter to the downpipe junction.

Now the last I'm going to mastic the join where it appears to leak. Easy.

First and second I'm not sure what's causing it. No blockage anywhere. The whole run of gutter is pitched at the same angle the full length without issues anywhere else. There's no broken supports and they're all evenly spaced too. The roof is the same the whole width of the roof so no valley overflowing. There's no water flowing inside of the gutter in appears to be following over the outer edge.

Now last rain spell it was ok, then the long dry spell so time to go wrong perhaps. Just how? What's the cause? What's the fix? Any ideas?

Are they PVC gutters?

The gutter could be sagging.

Get a ladder, use a spotter to secure the foot of the ladders and go up to assess.

Else hire a proper working scaffold deck deck to safely getup to gutters

I bought some mobile scaffolding some years ago, because after a couple of weeks hire costs I was well into buying new

Photos usually helps when the person isn't sure.

Or get a cheap camera drone and send it up to have a look when the weather is not windy

seems like the easiest way

possibly because I have a problem with heights so going up a ladder is not something I want to consider!!!

and - at the end - you have a drone to play with!!
