I have a gap between house metal roof frame and colourbond gutter. Please let me know how can I seal the gap to avoid water leakage.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @VijayWani. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about sealing a gutter.
Is there any chance you could take an image from outside the roofed area that better shows how the gutter is positioned?
Typically the roof sheets would overhang the gutter so the water falls into it and there shouldn't be a gap. However, this gutter appears to be running parallel to the side of the sheet, so I'm a bit confused as to its purpose. I think a little more content is needed, and if you can't take a photo to show this, perhaps you could draw us a sketch.
To answer your question, you could use roof and gutter silicone to seal this gap, and that would be best done from the roof, not underneath.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mitchell,
Thanks for your advice. I am attachig 3 Photographs herewith to understand the issue, 1. Gutter from down side 2 and 3 photographs from roof side
Unfortunately, the roof sheets are not overhanging the gutter.
Please advise me the best way to overcome this issue.

That's a very, interesting, setup @VijayWani.
We don't run gutters on the edge of sheets like that, as water flows downhill to be captured at the ends of the sheets, not the sides. You have a high ridge on the edge of that sheet, so water can't flow into that gutter anyway.
The installation is quite questionable, and I suspect the best move going forward would be to have a roofing drainage specialist examine it.
I'm also a bit concerned about whether that is electrical cabling that's been run through the roof trim work in those corrugated conduits. It might be worth having an electrician take a look at that.
