Abstract: An apparatus for pivotally securing a gutter to a facia such that it may be pivotally moved between a first (draining) position, and a second (cleaning) position. The apparatus includes an outwardly extending arm 2 with a hinge 4 thereon. The gutter is attached, for instance, by means of a gutter bracket 3 to the hinge, such that pivotal movement of the gutter relative to the bracket is effected. To clean the gutter, the gutter may be pivoted to a cleaning position, whereat the gutter is disposed outwardly relative to its draining position. After removal of tool (FIG. 8) may be utilised in order to effect movement of the gutter.
