Hi All,
I am having some external insulation work done at the moment. All the rendering is complete and the insulation co. is now fixing the downpipes back to the walls.
They have held the sections of pipe together with screws. I think the reason why is that they have not secured the clips correctly so the pipe is not held to the wall correctly. By using screws the weight of the pipe is taken by the gutter.
In my opinion this is completely incorrect. However before I raise yet another issue with them, wanted to confirm this was unacceptable practice.
Ta,
Ben
