Food for thought, cheers opps

We've had heavy rain last couple of days, so will get the ladders out & see what it like. I might be able to get on the roof from other side of house because it's lower, if i can't or don't feel confident about doing it i will get someone in to have a look at it. At least i will be able to get...

Ladder not tied & the wife won't be at the bottom lol

Cheers Blup, many thanks

Thanks for replying Blup. Never noticed "insert gutter here" whilst up there. Is it feasible to cut a couple of bits of guttering & glue them in or would i need to buy a complete section to fit properly?

Haven't been up as far as the guttering before & noticed a couple of things i am concerned about. Some of the mortar on the chimney has fallen out, could that let in the rain? Probably know the answer already. There is a join in 2 sections of the gutter & the joining bit is slightly lower...

Cheers Blup. What is the best membrane to use & is there any gravel that cats won't ****e in.

Cheers for that

Cheers for that

I thought the pics would be an issue I'll give him a call tomorrow.cheers

Had ceiling reboarded & skimmed+ all walls. It's mostly the internal corners & a couple of other places I not entirely happy with. Some of the internal corners, but not all feel rough to touch. Theres a couple of more bits too. I think the finish should be better but wanted to run it past the...

I'm not quibbling on the price as such, it was just the length of time the job would take. It's going to be pot luck which one i pick, see what the next one says tomorrow.
