I will get some more photos but taking the feedback on this thread into account, I have learnt that 1. The guttering clips are glued 2. The guttering doesn't go full length 3. Soffit under guttering is rotten and needs fixing Time to call in an expert, I am going to try and find someone who has...

Actually there is no broken part, the end cap although weathered is sealed and glued in place. Looks like the end had some sort of plaster or cement blobbed.

Thanks, the cap link says 114mm, when I measure it feels more like 105mm I will try and get the broken part out and take to local merchant.

Yes they appear fine

Hi Forum, After some advice, the end of my guttering had fallen off or broken off and I am wanting to fix it. I have few local trades people come around but not many are interested in small jobs. Any thoughts on what to order and how to go about fixing this. I have measure the width of the...

Thanks, plumber booked in for next week, till then we just have to be careful. I am a bit kicking myself for letting this carry on for almost 14 months. Really appreciate all the help and advice from this group.

I think I know where the problem maybe , it is almost certainly the flush valve, the problem is getting to it. Looks like the only way to get in is by removing the top L shaped sink panel

Hi Guys, Hope everyone is well. Since we moved here the downstairs toilet has always had a funny flush, it seems to trickle constantly in to the toilet bowl, I know this as I have put a tissue by the side and it gets wet. Sometimes the flush will make emptying and filling noise. It has never...

This is most useful, thank you. The video is great, I am confident I can do that. Any tips on ladder safety :-)

Hello Folks, Hope everyone is well and thanks in advance. Plaster from side of my roof fell out and I can see some more is about to fall. Any thoughts if I can repair it myself and any tips will be most useful. I am a bit of a novice and was thinking of buying some plaster and filling in the gap?
