It Never Rains But It Pours...

All the rain last night has revealed the guttering has sprung a leak. How much is it going to cost to get it repaired?

maybe just blocked ,Sandy

[sandyRoe]

Thanks, Beejay. That's a thought. I've a leaflet somewhere from people offering to clean them. I haven't got a head for heights, nor a long enough ladder, so It's not a job I'd want to tackle myself.

Lengths of cast iron guttering are about £30 + VAT and plastic considerably cheaper. I had our leaking cast iron stuff taken down, cleaned, resealed, one section replaced and new bolts fitted for £200.00

SandyRoe do you have a window cleaner? Usually bribe mine about once a month to clear any debris from the gutter with a nice cuppa. All workmen like a cuppa!

Cupid, the windows in the house haven't seen a sponge or a wet rag since we moved in nearly 12 years ago.

Blimey, Sandy. Can you tell whether it's day or night?

[sandyRoe]

I can now. The drips from the gutters are giving them a bit of a clean. ;-) Seriously, despite not being cleaned they haven't got that mucky.

yup Tilly - Sandy wipes his watch once a month
