Hi,
Bought a house a couple of years back and have slowly been making progress with regards to the bigger issues and can now focus on the smaller things.
The conservatory that was built has guttering all the way around, but it doesn't appear to be angled properly and therefore water tends to 'sit' in it - other than a full on fix (which I suspect would involve installing another downpipe, but it would have to be on my neighbours side, and they might not care for it), I wondered if anyone had similar issues and had put together any intuitive DIY solutions? I was thinking that it would be possible to use a length of rubber hose with holes spaced along it to drain the sitting water - using basic suction to pull the water through.
In theory, I think it would work - but I'm aware it's fairly basic, and wondered if anyone had thoughts or alternatives?
