I'm replacing PVC gutter on Victorian, wood fascia boards and was

stainless roundhead wood screws from Screwfix which makes me think
I've got it wrong somewhere as it must surely be a common job. What
is recommended please?


Suitable brass roundheads should be easy to find. You'll need to drill
the correct pilot hole for them, though.


Need to be careful about the diameter of the brass screws though Dave
especially if living in a 'high' snow or wind area as the load pressures on
gutters can be heavy (although in this case, the plastic would probably
break first).
