The original alumiium guttering took the cast iron 'stench' pipe with it after another heavy snow fall and thaw. The scrap men got to it before I did as I was living 30 mile away at the time!
Sorry about your guttering - hope it didn't damage anything when it came down.
I replaced the stenchpipe with plastic and stoppd it short of the guttering. I checked out the cost of replacement and it was a lot cheaper for me to buy some extension ladders and do it myself! The plastic brackets were all sheared off with the weight of ice on the guttering so I will need to find stronger replacements for them and do my Fred Dibner impression when the weatheris better! The plastic guttering is fine, just instead of lying under edge of slates, its now lying on the path below!
