I pulled this downpipe down unblock it and all the muck came over me. Can you get ill from this? Not sure if there was any birds poo in it. Everything is really dry.

Wear gloves? But to answer the question always possible, but unlikely.

What's the blue thing that looks like a downlight? (r/h side on the soffit). Is that something to do with the alarm?

I find it's best to down a pint of vodka before embarking on any work up a ladder :love:

Well.. the preventative in my case, means bringing me to my senses and putting the ladders away, me and ladders don't mix anymore.
