....still can't quite get used to a bird knowing about this kind of stuff

Well it is my job

Sounds like you could do with some rubber sheets. Didn't you get a jumbo pack when your rep was taken away?

People who live in S&M dungeons shouldn't throw rubber dildos.

I did do. I had it booked. As with what seems all workmen, he didn't show up. As it's a temp solution only I thought I'd do it. I mean what could go wrong? It's not as if I've got an Emu.

HTH

Surely, just get some round to do it for you ? Saves a lot of hassle, mess and won't cost the earth to do.

That looks something like it. Highest point in the bloody house. I hate ladders.

Just remember this is a temporary fix, you really need to get this resolved permanently, how old is the house as an initial guess would be that the DPC (damp proof course) or cavity tray has failed.
If you leave this be then the water will get into the cavity & rot any insulation you may have & get on to the inner skin & then into the house & low & behold its rotten plasterboard, skirting’s etc.

You need.... a scaffold tower ( i hate working off ladders so invested in one of these

... Oh and bonus points if you put it through your company

IMO you gotta get this sorted once and for all. I had problem with a leak in the roof and it took bloody ages to sort. All the guys that I got in had this annoying saying something along the lines of 'Water finds it's own way' which was their code for 'We haven't got a ****** clue but will charge you to try'.

Sticking a bit of this and a bit of that won't work and will end up pushing it somewhere you don't see until your wall falls down. Worth spending it a bit to save alot.

It's supposed to be a temporary solution when said 'handy man' is going to do the guttering, roof & pointing. I've got video of the water coming through. It was quite gobsmacking.
