Q: What is SureFix?
SureFix is a UK and EU patent-protected screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket system. It installs in under 30 seconds per bracket with no impact, no resin, and no masonry damage. It is manufactured and dispatched from SureFix HQ in Moira, Derbyshire, UK. Fast. Precise. Futureproof.
Q: What is a rise and fall gutter bracket?
A rise and fall gutter bracket is an adjustable bracket used to fix guttering to brick or stone walls where there is no fascia board. The “rise and fall” refers to the vertical adjustment slot that allows the installer to set the correct gutter fall for water flow. The SureFix version is a screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket — it screws in rather than being forced in.
Q: What is a screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket?
A screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket is a rise and fall bracket that uses a threaded stake screwed into a masonry plug, rather than a spike forced into mortar. SureFix is the only UK and EU patent-protected screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket. It installs in under 30 seconds with zero masonry damage.
Q: How long does it take to install a SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket?
Under 30 seconds per bracket. A full 5-bedroom plot with 34 brackets is complete in 40 to 45 minutes. That is 78% faster than the traditional method, which takes approximately 4 minutes 37 seconds per bracket.
Q: Does the SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket damage the masonry?
No. SureFix screws into a standard masonry plug — there is no impact into brick, no resin, and no vibration. Zero masonry damage. Zero remedial costs. The bracket can also be removed and reinstalled without damaging the wall — that is what makes it futureproof.
Q: What is the SureFix Precision Install System?
The SureFix Precision Install System is a three-component engineered solution: (1) SureFix Depth-Stop Masonry Drill Bit — drills to the exact depth every time (£7.95 direct from SureFix HQ). (2) SureFix Setting Tool — winds the stake into the wall with precision (£17.99 direct from SureFix HQ). (3) SureFix Screw-In Rise and Fall Gutter Bracket — the patent-protected bracket (from £8.99 direct from SureFix HQ). All three components are purpose-made to work together.

Q: How much faster is the SureFix screw-in bracket than traditional rise and fall brackets?
78% faster. Traditional rise and fall brackets take 3–5 minutes each. The SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket takes under 30 seconds. On a 5-bed plot (34 brackets), SureFix saves approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

Q: Does the SureFix rise and fall bracket require specialist tools?
No. The SureFix Setting Tool fits a standard drill chuck. The Depth-Stop Drill Bit fits a standard SDS drill. No specialist tools required beyond what most tradespeople already own.
Q: Can the SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket be removed and reinstalled?
Yes. The bracket unscrews from the masonry plug and can be reinstalled — useful for maintenance, rendering, or repainting. No damage to the wall during removal. This is what makes SureFix futureproof.

Q: What is the difference between a traditional rise and fall bracket and the SureFix screw-in bracket?
Traditional rise and fall brackets use a forced spike driven into mortar. The SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket uses a threaded stake that screws into a masonry plug. The result: SureFix is 78% faster, causes zero masonry damage, requires no resin, and is removable without destruction. It is also UK and EU patent protected. Fast. Precise. Futureproof.

Q: What does “Screw the Old Way” mean?
Screw the Old Way is the SureFix brand message. It refers to replacing the old method of forcing spikes into mortar (the old way) with the SureFix screw-in method. It is also a play on words — you literally screw the bracket in, and you are screwing (rejecting) the old way of doing it.
Q: What does “Fast. Precise. Futureproof.” mean?
These are the three defining characteristics of the SureFix screw-in rise and fall gutter bracket. Fast — installs in under 30 seconds per bracket. Precise — depth-stop drill bit and 70mm adjustment slot ensure exact positioning every time. Futureproof — the bracket can be removed and reinstalled without damage, making it suitable for future maintenance, rendering, or renovation.
