I have to end join two pieces of standard half round pvc guttering at 170
degrees (wall has a 10 degree kink due to property line)

Screwfix do an adjustable joiner but it only goes from 90 to 156 degreess -
does the panael have any suggestions - the gutters have to be at the same
height so I cannot drop from one into the other using a downpipe fitting.

You could probably bend a straight length by 10 degrees if you heat the
middle up with a hot air gun. It works for cable trunking anyway which
is admittedly a bit smaller.

There is a little adjustment on a standard joint, you can get a
slightly out of square joint to seal quite satisfactorily. If it
doesn't, let silicone be your friend!

I made my own faced with a similar situation.
Cut a _small_ section to required angle, stick ends together with plastic
weld and then a line of silicon over the top of the join.
Put a standard joiner each end. Its lasted 10 years so far.

For ##### sake.Just cut a v notch and use PVC weld to glue it back together.

Pausing to ponder, no doubt, on the benefit of not having an architect.

Worked with a plumber once. He used to cut two ends of the required
pipe/guttering/whatever to the angles he wanted, got himself a flat
hand shovel (shovel is better because you have something wooden to
hold on to), heated it up with his blow lamp (the flat metal bit that
is, not the handle) and then pushed the two pieces of plastic to be
joined into it - one either side - just hot enough to start to melt
the plastic. After he'd rapidly withdrawn the shovel he had two semi
moltend ends of pipe/guttering/whatever which he just shoved together
to form a perfect angle. Naturally he then held them steady to allow
the plastic to cool and form the joint.

If you fancy trying this method, cut two pieces of your guttering
about a foot long, make the angle and then joint up with connectors as
necessary...

Did an experimental join, cutting two short bit each 5 degrees on the skew,
and gluing them with normal solvent weld adhesive. So far so good but I'll
leave it for some days to harden before I trust it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Having trued to get solvent weld pipes apart, I'd say you are in for a
pleasant surprise.
