The one we did in owerri today, note the downspouts which will be fitted with hoses later to channel water to the Desired places.......

Oga Spyder do you have any contact for rain gutter in Ibadan?

Not exactly, but am sure most people who roof houses on contract can easily fit rain gutters

COrrect, now I like to talk about just teh gutter, that building definately needs the gutter cos the clearance of the roof ending to the building is next to nothing same as this Pic of my roof here .cos the rain water would just flow 2wards the body of the building right?

baba Just buy sockaway pip, slice it in the middle whalaaaa U don get gutter pipe
on a serious note Im sure there are loads of t around ur end like oga spyder said, U jst need the right contact.

spyder880:


I agree.

So it safe to say that if you are going to do those fancy parapets on your build its a MUST TO HAVE THESE GUTTERS to keep the facelook of you build.
On a 2nd note, if you have a different roofing design ie you roof has a clearance of say 1m from the external walls.Would the gutter serve same purpose? or rather beautification?

Just look at all those insured and bonded non "Baba Lati" that are doing a fantastic work of blocking a community drain

Everything included is more than 10 million.

And I'm not a baba

n3xt:
Baba memejem, sorry to disappoint you about the building because we have no worries. This is not another "baba Lati" build. It was properly insured. Contractors Insurance. Performance Bond. Everything and everyone on the project was covered in the insurance policy.

Hope you'll understand what it takes to get those documents.

Na wa o. Is this called for?

But then many ripostes on nairaland are not called for.

Kontinu.

na so him curse me that day too.

Tho I am still wondering where the 27m went in his building yes! That building isnt up to 27m even if he spent 5m for raft foundation. but because na brabus nobody go talk, they will all click "like" .

#hypocrites.

erico2k2, in AZUH's voice. Are you going to fly to Naija from dat roof?

Did you get the pound ££££?

Those hardware you inquired about are in everyday builder stores in Naija.

People wey get power pass me dey D forest, the £££ I manage hold just size pocket power mike dem own full bag
Anyway, so I can free up 10kg on my luggage if i can get them in 9ja, need them for 3D printers.

Consider the quality though.

Do you want the cheapest Chinese shyte that was imported into naija or do you want good quality stuff.

Just a thought.

Where's the steel roof

n3xt:
Less than N27m | Stats

- 3 floors
- 550m² footprint
- Lightweight Steel Roof

And more too numerous to mention.

So you're here advertising things that don't exist on your build.unfinished project, therefore price unknown.

Ok.

Spyder880 you may need to re-visit this project to carry out further inspection of the guttering as there may be unpleasant consequences long term going by the method adopted. How?

Guttering has been part of the building code in the western world for a long time but trickling down to Nigeria only recently. The purpose of roof guttering is not to protect the foundation of the building as some as posted. In fact guttering has no connection to the building foundation. However if not properly done or not maintained, this can pose serious structural problem to the building which may include the foundation.

So what is the purpose of guttering in buildings? In Europe, the purpose of guttering is strictly about economics of cost. In some parts of Europe including the UK and Germany, the water utility company will invoice you both for the water supplied into your building and invoice you for the water going away from your building into the sewer. So the size of your roof is a function of the quantity of water going into the drains when it rains. Guttering is a means of collecting that body of water for invoicing in time past. So folks protested and by way of circumventing this invoice, they now used guttering to channel the rain water into containers for use in gardening and not the drains to save up on sewage bills.

Another reason for guttering is the roof design. Look at Pix A and B below. You will notice the eave is almost non-existent. Unlike in Nigeria where you could take shelter under a roof when its raining, in the UK rain go beat you die. So guttering is to keep water away from the walls which may cause serious damp and to keep your rain water away from your neighbour's.

Guttering can easily be blocked by leaves and ferns. If this happens and it goes uncleared this may have serious consequences like damp walls, rotten roof timber, pop, ceiling as the water will find a way into the building. Guttering should be maintained regularly i.e cleared before the rains in Nigeria. Again you may suffer these consequences if the guttering is not properly done. See pix C and D below and Spyder880 build ealier. From the pix C and D you could see what is to come if that guttering is not revisited: damp walls and defaced paint work at the minimum. This may also be applicable to Spyder880 Owerri build.

Now the question is do we need guttering in Nigeria? The answer is NO as our eaves are of long and wide span so there is little danger of rain water pouring on the walls but with the recent incursion of parapet into our building design, our eaves are getting thinner and short just like in the UK, so there may be need for a properly done and well maintained guttering.

good point hence I posted roofs with and without gutters o n the streets of London.
but I think certain building where you might get run offs of rain water unto the wall it would be grate to channel the water away at this I can say this is the o nly good reason you could gutter your house in Nigeria.
I think Spyder is not planning to leave that gutter like that,

This is just the first thing that popped up on a simple google search. Upon clicking several links the purpose of rain gutters echoes this same sentiment and more.

I'm not saying everyone should include rain gutters in thier homes. But when i build, I will include it in mine. Better safe than sorry. The evidence available is convincing enough for me. Plus I don't think the cost will be so much.

Of course, go for it but do it properly and remember to clear it twice a year.

If you speak with the aluminum guys mine came as part of the aluminium installation. The plumber just fitted pipes to the end and connected the pipes to the waste water drains.

in business section, economist don type big big grammar so that we can release our dollars and sell to them with the fear of dollar crashing to 250#. I have made my points and reason why parallel rate will still remain high no matter the policy of CBN cos demand is higher than supply which will ofcus push us to buy in the street if cbn/banks cant meet up with our demands. Tho it crashed a little from 365-335/$ before and after the floating of naira.

hmmmm. Nobody wants low balls materials for their building but sweet mouthing and dishonesty is what I dislike. Shebi i have showed u ppl one yeye flooring one man did and call it 3.8m . me know dey chop agege bread.
