Mr Punter Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 If you have a scaffold tower it would be much better than a ladder. Are you just putting back the bits that came off, or renewing the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epsilonGreedy Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Did it fall due to general rotting in the eaves? Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Looks a Rachman rental. My insulation got disturbed and ended up sitting over the vent in the soffit. Sucked in wind drive rain, then wet the plasterboard below. So may be a problem, get it fixed. And a lick of paint on the window would not go a miss.
