Introducing the new Surefix Rise & Fall gutter bracket

The new Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket from Surefix saves you both time and money while adhering to new health and safety regulations.

Unlike the installation method of the current bracket, the Surefix Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket doesn’t cause damage or cracking to a building’s brickwork, and it has been subjected to rigorous industry testing, including pull-out and downward load testing. The results, shown below, speak for themselves.

This new solution is faster to install, stronger when in place and safer for site personnel. It has more adjustment and can be easily removed for maintenance etc.

Faster install with the Surefix Setting Tool

The innovative design of the setting tool easily inserts into a standard drill chuck. The custom design of the slot allows the setting tool to comfortably fit over the end of the bracket stake, which allows it to be easily wound into the plug.

You can safely and quickly install the bracket by drilling a hole, inserting a masonry plug then winding in the stake with our custom-made setting tool.

With this method the Surefix solution doesn’t crack or damage brickwork (unlike the traditional bracket) meaning there is no requirement for follow on trades to check and repair brickwork, saving you both time and money.

The Surefix Bracket comes with a 70mm adjustable slot giving you ample allowance to align the guttering, this adjustment allows you to overcome any deviations or detailing in the brickwork.

The current bracket is designed to be built in by the bricklayer (if H&S allow it).

The problem with this specified method is they rarely get installed on the correct line or at the correct centres, meaning they have to be removed and re-fitted when guttering works are carried out. The Surefix Bracket is fitted once and fitted right.

Stronger

Fitted Once

As the Surefix Bracket is only fitted once it holds firm in the brickwork, the current bracket has to be tweaked and adjusted making it loose and un-safe.

Thickened profile

The Surefix Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket thread is thicker, making it stronger for shear loads, furthermore the slot gives greater adjustment capabilities.

Independently tested

Don’t just take our word for it; the bracket has been independently tested and trialled on various plots

Safer

Better for Health & Safety

The current bracket is designed to be built in with the brickwork, this not only causes the potential to be fitted incorrectly by the bricklayer but also creates a H&S hazard for follow on trades. There has been several cases of operatives sustaining injuries from the protruding gutter stakes. Because of this major house builders are banning this installation method meaning the brackets have to be fitted in retrospect.

This is not how they are designed and as mentioned is a slow process which can cause damage to the brickwork.

The Surefix Bracket can be easily installed at any stage once the brickwork is complete.

Installation gallery

One of the country’s leading house builders and place makers, Davidsons, has been so impressed with the onsite tests that they want to roll out the Surefix bracket across all their UK sites – saving them time and money while ensuring a high-quality, robust finish.

Fewer materials needed, saving you money

Not only will you benefit from a quicker speed of installation, but with the Surefix Bracket you will no longer require extra materials for installation as with the existing bracket, such as screws, plugs & tubes of resin.

Maintenance & Renovation Friendly

Unlike the current bracket the Surefix Bracket can easily be removed for any; gutter, maintenance, render or painting works. Once finished you just wind the stake back into the plug.

When renovating an older property the Surefix Bracket makes for a solid replacement for the old worn-out gutter bracket, they can be replaced with ease for a complete restoration.

Various Profiles

The Surefix Bracket can be manufactured to suit every gutter profile, it can also be finished in various coatings and colours so we’ve got everything covered from standard new builds to bespoke developments.

Alternative To Plastic

In a world moving away from plastic the Surefix bracket gives you a more sustainable option. The robust finish offers longevity so it wont need replacing as often as worn out plastic facias and gutters. Not only is the galvanised metal bracket greener than the plastic option, it looks more traditional and authentic for a classier finish on your guttering.

We are moving towards more sustainable living with modular homes leading the way. The current Rise & Fall bracket cannot be used with modular construction unlike the Surefix bracket, we simply change the plug to suit the application then wind the stake in the same. The Surefix Bracket gives you the traditional look on your modular designs.
