Protecting your gutters and drains from blockage is a must – all too quickly leaves and other debris plug up downpipes, causing you hassle and potential expense to sort out. Simple yet ingenious, these gutter and drain plugs are a helpful answer to blocked downpipes and drains. Made from hard wearing nylon fibre bristles held in place by stainless steel wiring, they form a porous barrier that can be inserted into the top of your downpipe, or under your drain grill, helping keep detritus out and let the water flow. At 10cm in diameter, these plugs fit the most common sized downpipes and drains, but given the flexible nature of the nylon bristles, could be placed into a smaller diameter opening still.
