omg, I'm not going up there again! I hired a 5 meter ladder to get up there more safely for £40 (after the sscaffolding quotes came in way above my budget) and bought some proper ropes to tie the pair of us to the chimney. Had to push up the tiles (and remove one of the ridge tiles)...

Got the back gutter delivered, went for the cheaper ladder option and brother in law helper and installed it, repointed most of the chimney.... Here's the videos of the finished job. http://youtu.be/PlpMikmaTyw http://youtu.be/8qM6c2g33Gs

The more I look into it the more I think I'll get a professional to make it. I might have a go anyway (not for the real job) just to see if it really is one of those cases where they "make it look easy" (like plastering)!

Thanks for your responses woody and datarebal, I think your right, I am pushing my luck on that ladder! I'm pretty sure I could have a good go at making up a new gutter in my workshop, but getting the old one out and putting the new one in safely is going to be a problem. I think I'll get...

I did a quick video as well... http://youtu.be/IlED66er-I8

Hello DIYnot, I'm new to posting on this forum but I've used it's advice many times in sticky situations in the past. My skills, I wouldn't say I was a "black belt" in DIY but maybe a "Silver" (I've got and use regularly nearly all power tools known to man and am not scared to go it alone)...
