Hello


the drain pipe that leads from the guttering on my roof down the front of my house to a drain by my front door has come away (the brackets that held it in have eroded away and broken) How easy would it be to fix myself? - i.e. can I buy a new pipe from somewhere and put it up with the brackets etc or is it a specialist job? Any advice greatly appreciated.


thanks

it's easy just google / youtube it.


the bits you can get from various places, you can try Seans, Dulwich DIY, MKK in Nunhead, Wickes Catford.

drill the holes, put plugs in (or use masonry screws/nails), space bracket if needed with some tubing, fit bracket.

    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
    • Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
    • Aria is great, fixed the leak under sink and a wonky toilet set. He’s very conscientious and thorough in his work and an honest, friendly guy. Really pleased to recommend him
