Thanks for all your kind replies. I appreciate you have taken time out of your busy days to respond. Oh ree if only you were local. What a comprehensive answer! I think it is a loose piece of flashing. I have had gutter guards fitted so there should be no blocking but I will check. No manhole...

Thanks for all your help so far - really appreciate it. JohnD - not sure what these tiles are? I will ask contractor A about the downpipe, although the property is on hill so not sure the water would affect the property, but it would look neater anyway. Here are some images.

Hi Guys Hoping someone can help as I am struggling, but trying, to understand. I'm blonde lol! I recently had a RICS damp survey on a rental property I own. The survey highlighted the following recommended actions: • Repair/remove chimney stack • Replace rot affected roof timbers • Consider...

Thanks for your reply Zampa. I really am grateful. The other half came home with some grey Pave Fix last night. Have heard its not meant to be great but would it do for covering the existing pointing in the short term (as well as filling in gaps were the pointing has fallen away)? Or is...
