Install with confidence. Traditional rise‑and‑fall brackets still depend on hammered stakes and primitive installation which can crack mortar and leave brackets twisted and misaligned .
Surefix is a complete rethink. The adjustable bracket uses a drill‑plug‑wind installation that winds a threaded stake into a masonry plug, so there’s no impact and no damage to masonary.Its 70 mm slot provides true horizontal adjustment without ever having to remove or reposition the stake , and the process is roughly three times faster than hammering in traditional brackets .
Chosen by professionals. Major developers across the UK use Surefix because it delivers consistent, accurate results on every plot . Whether you’re a bricklayer on a new build, an installer tackling long runs, a site manager overseeing dozens of plots or a DIYer who wants to get it right first time, this bracket is built to make the job easier.
A proven innovation, rigorously tested and now protected across the UK and Europe
The traditional Rise and Fall Bracket relied on hammered stakes. You tapped the metal into the bed joint, hoped the brick didn’t crack, and then tweaked the bracket until the fall looked right. If you were lucky, it stayed. If you weren’t, it drifted, sagged or snapped the masonry.
The Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket eliminates the dangers of the original method and provides an easier, stronger, faster and safer solution.
You drill, plug and wind the stake in using the Surefix drive-in tool.
You set the height with the long rise-and-fall slot.
You slide the bracket arm forward or backwards to match the wall profile.
You tighten it once, and it stays put.
It gives you more flexibility than any previous bracket, and it installs without stress, damage or the slow, messy rework that traditional brackets cause.
This is a Rise and Fall Bracket rebuilt from the ground up.
A Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket shouldn’t slow a build down, and the Surefix system proves exactly that. When installers switch from the traditional bracket to the Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket, the difference in speed is immediate.
On a standard four-bed plot, installing the old bracket takes 2 hours or more.
With the Surefix bracket, the same elevation takes around 45 minutes.
And that time isn’t saved by cutting corners; it’s saved because the design eliminates unnecessary steps.
You drill the hole.
You insert the plug.
You wind in the stake using the Surefix setting tool.
The setting tool fits directly into any standard drill chuck. The custom slot has been engineered to slide perfectly over the end of the Surefix bracket stake, gripping securely so you can wind the stake into the plug with full control.
There’s no strain on your wrist.
No impact force.
No unexpected movement when working at height.
And no time lost fixing masonry damage from hammered stakes.
Once the stake is in place, the bracket gives you a full 70mm of rise and fall adjustment. That means:
• You can correct poor brickwork
• You can match the fall precisely to the design
• You can keep long runs visually straight
• You never need to “tap and hope” again.
This is one of the fastest Rise and Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket most installers will ever use.
The engineered thread on the Surefix stake delivers superior performance. In independent testing, the pull-out strength and downward load capacity of the stakes outperformed those of traditional stakes by a significant margin. Old hammered stakes loosen over time. Surefix stays tight.
“This bracket is stronger, faster, and far more consistent than anything we’ve used before.”
When a developer installs thousands of brackets a year, that difference matters.
Strength isn’t just about holding gutter weight. It’s about standing up to shear forces, wind load, cleaning, maintenance, thermal movement, and years of seasonal expansion and contraction. The Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket is engineered with a thickened stake profile, a reinforced bracket arm, and a design that distributes load cleanly through the plug and into the brickwork.
The engineered thread on the Surefix stake delivers superior performance. In independent testing, the pull-out strength and downward load capacity of the stakes outperformed those of traditional stakes by a significant margin. Old hammered stakes loosen over time. Surefix stays tight.
Traditional brackets are tweaked, bent, twisted, tapped, and forced into place. Every adjustment loosens them. Every correction damages the hole. Every knock reduces stability.
With Surefix:
• You fix once
• You set the height once
• You tighten once…
And it holds firm. No drift. No sag. No inconsistency across the elevation.
Construction health and safety has moved on. Protruding metal stakes built into brickwork are now a recognised hazard, and several developers have banned the practice outright. Old brackets weren’t designed to be hammered in retrospect, and that process leads to:
• Cracked masonry
• Falling debris
• Impact injuries
• Slips during forceful hammering
• Instability at height
• Misaligned stakes that require full removal and reinstallation
The Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket removes all of these risks.
There’s no need to embed anything during the build. Bricklayers don’t have to carry gutter components. No one risks tripping on protruding stakes. And no one relies on a rushed embed during a busy bricklaying stage.
The Surefix bracket is typically installed cleanly, safely and quickly after brickwork is complete.
By eliminating the need for hammering, Surefix prevents uncontrolled movement that can cause injuries. There’s no shock force. No unpredictable brick failure. No sudden slips.
Everything is controlled. Everything is measured. Everything is safer.
This is where Surefix stands alone.
Most gutter brackets offer only vertical adjustment. Some offer limited sideways movement.
But only the Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket allows:
Full rise and fall height adjustment
Forward and backward movement without moving the stake
This means you can fine-tune the gutter position with total freedom. You never have to remove the stake. You never have to re-drill. You never have to hope the hole hasn’t widened.
If the brickwork steps out, you can correct it.
If the façade isn’t perfectly flat, you can adjust for it.
If the original design changes, you can adapt.
This level of control has never existed in a Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket before.
Major developers like Beal Homes specify black powder-coated Surefix brackets across every plot on every site because they trust the consistency. They know that the line will be straight, the fall will be correct, and the finish will look professional across hundreds of houses.
Bricklayers can get on with the build without fighting gutter gear.
No hammering, no cracked masonry, no stakes embedded at the wrong line. The Surefix Rise and Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket is fitted after the brickwork is complete, keeping the elevation clean and removing rework from misaligned embeds. Bricklayers finish faster, leave a better-looking façade and avoid the hassle of retrofitting problems later.
Installers get the accuracy the trade has always wanted.
The Surefix Gutter Bracket offers full rise-and-fall adjustment, forward-and-back movement, and fast, safe installation using the Surefix setting tool. Lines stay straight, long runs stay consistent, and corrections are minimal. It turns a slow, messy job into a clean, controlled installation with professional results every time.
DIY users and small builders get a system that’s easy to fit and hard to get wrong.
The Surefix Adjustable Bracket removes the need for specialist tools, awkward hammering or perfect brickwork. It offers enough adjustment to correct uneven walls and gives a clean, reliable finish that looks professionally installed without the usual frustration.

The old Rise and Fall Brackets were a nightmare for maintenance teams. Once hammered in, they became permanent. Removing them led to cracked bricks. Replacing them widened the holes, and resetting them meant fighting and cracking the masonry again and again.
The Surefix Rise & Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket solves this.
No destruction.
No forced removal.
No need for resin or oversized plugs.
This bracket supports:
• Gutter replacement
• Brick tinting
• Rendering
• Painting
• Deep cleans
• Elevation repairs
• Cup upgrades
• Heritage restoration.
It respects the building throughout its lifespan.
Yes. The Surefix Rise and Fall Adjustable Gutter Bracket is engineered to work with every common half-round material used across the UK. Installers use it confidently with uPVC, aluminium, cast iron, steel, and high-capacity deep flow systems. The bracket gives solid support, accurate fall control and long-term stability across every gutter profile.
Surefix Brackets are available in four finish options:
Developers often choose black powder coating for uniformity, especially on modern estates. It blends seamlessly with black uPVC, aluminium and cast-iron-effect guttering. Large developers such as Beal Homes specify black across every plot because the finish stays consistent and professional on every elevation.
Plastic brackets seem convenient, but they fail faster. They warp in the sun, twist under load, fade in bad weather, and become brittle over time. Many developers are moving away from plastic entirely due to performance issues and sustainability goals.
The Surefix Bracket is metal and offers a longer lifespan, a lower environmental impact, a more traditional, authentic finish, and full compatibility with modular and precision-build systems.
Yes. The bracket is ideal for modular construction. Because the stake winds directly into a plug rather than being built into brickwork, the installer simply uses the correct plug for the substrate. The bracket delivers the same accuracy, alignment and long-term strength on modular façades as it does on traditional brick or stone.
