What to notice around parapet gutters
Identify the work needed around parapet gutters using the inspection photographs Adam supplies with your written quotation.
Concealed gutter faults
Tell Adam about water marks high on the wall behind a parapet; an inspection needs to establish whether standing water has reached the lining joints before the visible problem is priced.
Look beyond the parapet detail
The reason for looking closely at parapet gutters is that an obstructed throat backs water into the concealed gutter, with the adjoining outlet throats forming part of the inspection.
Previous work needs explaining
Bring any records relating to your parapet gutters, including photographs or descriptions of earlier work, so Adam can compare the previous scope with the roof now.
A clear scope is missing
Before agreeing your roof repair, ask the roofer to explain whether standing water has reached the lining joints and identify the proposed work at the adjoining outlet throats.

Concealed gutter faults in Buckingham
The clay tiled roofs near the Old Gaol and the town's older slate slopes and parapets give Buckingham a mixture of roof forms to consider when inspecting parapet gutters. Your parapet gutters need to be checked against that particular building and its outlet throats. For a concealed gutter behind a parapet, the inspection follows the construction beyond the visible outlet throats before work is priced. Adam is based in Buckingham and records the findings about parapet gutters himself, giving you photographs and a written explanation to support the decision.
