Wha’s to be prime minister say ye? Charlie Fox? Troth man, that’s good news indeed...Troth an’ Billie Pitt may now e’en dight his neb and flee up”. Guttering installed in the last 10 years should have a lifespan of up to 30 years. If it breaks and is fixable, then it’ll be more economical and environmentally friendly to get it repaired rather than having to replace a leaking gutter joint.

Dicht could also mean to sift or winnow grain and, in Angus, in the mid-twentieth century, a strong wind could still be described as If you notice water leaking from the end of the guttering, the stop end (the piece at the end of the guttering) is likely to be either damaged or missing. densely populated {adj} dicht bewachsen well vegetated {adj} {past-p} dicht bewaldet densely wooded {adj} rat-arsed {adj} [Br.] [vulg.] dicht [ugs.] [unter Alkohol- oder Drogeneinfluss] twatted {adj} [sl.] dicht [ugs.] sloshed {adj} [sl.] You may also need a replacement gutter union.

The sealer can be applied during the harshest of weathers if you suddenly find a leak during a rain storm. The sealer formula is also UV resistant and asbestos-free so it will keep working so long as you keep it maintained where needed. It can be used indoors and outdoors too so you can repair a leak on both sides for extra protection. The sealant is ideal for home use as well as for boats and even caravans and mobile homes too.

To fix this, inspect the stop end as per the instructions for gutter joint repair (above). If the stop end is damaged or missing, you can install a new stop end so the water is diverted to the downpipe. Make sure the level of the gutter falls away from the stop end, i.e. towards the downpipe.

Modern ladders will often have a safety mark on the side to demonstrate this. Another proverb drew upon the habit that hens have of wiping their beaks before going to roost. So we get this political comment from James Ballantine’s The Gaberlunzie’s Wallet (1843): The parent Old English word ‘dihtan’ had a wider range of meanings, several of which were shared by Scots and English until the word became obsolete in English in the sixteenth century. It often meant to dress or decorate. This brush on sealer will do just about anything. Got a leak? Get a paintbrush and a can of Sealfix! You can test whether this has fixed the leak by running some water down into the guttering with a hose.

Why? Because the main role of guttering is to collect rainwater that runs off the roof, direct it to the downpipe, and away into a drainage system.
