Skip this if you'd prefer.
On the left, we have the neighbours roof. The gutter falls *towards* the downpipe. The roof feeds into the gutter. The gutter is lower, so that any overflow goes away from the eaves.
And now ours, the fall is wrong, the gutter is above the roof so any blockage feeds the water into the home. Nice work from our builders. We just had a fix, and the fall might be right but it's still sitting high.
Minor complaint, the floorboard offcuts we asked to keep were strewn around in the roof, along with anything else. Me and Marie cleaned it up.
Another bad surprise on the 14th, right in the middle of lockdown. No surprises the builder refused to come out as he said it was not possible.
The outside of the wall is about 50cms under soil that drains next door's back yard, but no waterproofing was applied. The moisture is spreading slowly. This is a shockingly shoddy piece of work.
