See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.....

Except I did, I have, I shall.....

Seven years we have lived here without so much as drip from the gutters until next door had theirs replaced....

I saw the drips....

The builders said it must have always leaked and was nothing to do with them.

I heard them...

Despite finding their spirit level in my flower bed, which had bounced off my new windowsill from where they were working on my side of the fence with no reason for them to be there! Then I noticed the bracket that was missing, they said it had always been missing. I know different. I fitted Christmas lights to those gutters every year. The leaking got worse until the whole lot just sprang apart.

I have spent a very wet morning reassembling and replacing part of my gutters. It would seem that by some form of witchcraft that the whole lot has shrunk by three inches along its length, or perhaps, more likely, the whole lot has been yanked along to meet the new "centre bracket" put up by the cowboys....by the way, the bracket that originally leaked had new screws in it, so it had very obviously been moved....

So I speak my evil.....Larkin Windows should spend less time larkin' about and more time educating their sub-contractors on what is best practise...I always find you get a better job from the little man with a good reputation!

Be warned....be careful, and keep your money local, that way, we'll all get through this recession together...
