Aluminium soakers replaced on the side of this dormer in Limpsfield to cure an internal leak. Extra lead work completed plus a host of cracked tiles replaced.

A couple of gutter clearances (cleared moss off whole roof on one of these) in Oxshott.

Had to do some roofing work at home -somehow only two tiles were broken!!

Got interesting scaffolding going in tomorrow in Staines-narrowest to date at only 50cms between the houses. New fascia capping boards, guttering & gutter guards going in all round.

Gutter clearance in Balham

Oxted job. Was asked to replace the guttering. Scaffolding was required. Once up there, rotten wood was found. Having gone to the expense of the scaffolding the homeowner made the sensible decision to get everything shipshape. Tiles stripped-new battens installed-eave protector drip trays nailed in and the tiles relaid. Guttering installed all hanging off side rafter hangers.

Progress throughout the day, starting at the rear of the property. Video to follow shows the completed side of the house.

Ex pigeon home

Part of today’s (yes on a Sunday!!) job replacing this old wooden knackered panel for a new weatherproof, lockable door. 70’ up on top of a church in Mitcham. Inside you can see the insulated dome of the main part of the church roof. The pigeons love(d) it !!🦅

This morning’s first client of the day has to win a prize for best gift yet. Do I declare this whopper of a courgette to HMRC? Thank you Christine. Job was new Ogee guttering in corner feeding into neighbour’s gutter.

Smallish job in Farnham today. Customer only wanted gutters changed feeding into existing downpipes.

Squirrels chewing on the lead around this large chimney resulting in water leaking into the master bedroom of this client’s house on the Crown Estate in Oxshott. Scaffolding in place and all new lead put in place. New soakers, new step flashing & no leaks. Whilst scaffolding is in place we will repoint the chimney as the mortar has deteriorated.

Before & after-clear out & Gutter Guards installed near Leatherhead.

It’s that time of year again for the headtorch & an abundance of leaves. All sorted in Bookham with some great Gutter Guards fitted. No more blocked gutters here.

Some clients I like better than others!!!🍾😉

A squirrel 🐿 is being blamed for this one.

The lead had at various points, been knawed through which in turn led (no pun etc)to a build up of water in the roof, which then decided, in the heavy rains, to give way into the customer’s bedroom ceiling.

In lieu of returning with scaffolding to strip all the tiles & lead and redo the lot I stripped some of the tiles, cleaned and dried the affected areas. Then applied a lead replacement flashing to the affected areas in triplicate. Also cleared the build up of soil, grass & plants from behind the chimney. Then reattached tiles over to complete.

Previous customer phoned last night to say that in the heavy rain water was pouring over the gutter onto his wall causing staining of the brickwork. As they were due to go away on holiday imminently I said I’d be there as a priority. A build up of moss (from the neighbour’s roof) in the corner was stopping the water escaping.

Gutter cleared and grid put in place to stop a repetition of the build up.

I was very pleased, once again, to receive my favourite accompaniment to a cup of tea, as a gift from the customer.

Please note this was not full payment for works completed.

Putney: Before & after pics of these waste pipes & drooping boiler condensate & rusting cast iron hopper and downpipe. Also replaced the front guttering.

Health & Safety look away.

My ladder wasn’t quite long enough so the roof rack on top of the van was my base to reach this swan neck that had detached itself.

Also in Islington, the front gutter valley material had cracked over time. A coat of Acrypol+ was applied leaving a rubber like finish to the roof waterproofing it for years to come.

Unstable mortar removed in Islington, cleared out and fresh lime based mortar applied.

A days work. Uninstalled old guttering, capped the fascia boards & installed new gutters

Slipped tile & dislodged ridge tile repaired in Guildford.

Huge chimney pot requiring a bespoke cowl to be ordered & fitted near Gatwick.
