QUOTATION and Report.
For the attention of Mr. #######
Dear Sirs
RE: Gutter Report, ########## (please read with accompanying C.D.)
We thank you for your recent valued enquiry and following our site survey have
pleasure in submitting our quotation and gutter report as follows:
Pictures 1 to 7 Show various gutters from all areas over the roof, in my opinion
these gutters have not been cleaned out for two to three years. Picture 8 shows
the gutter immediately above the offices where the leak has occurred (above the
loading bays). The silt and mud in this gutter would have significantly reduced
the capacity of the gutter and may have been the reason for the overflow into the
office. Pictures 9, 10 and 11 show the same gutter run where it becomes a
valley gutter, as you can see underneath the air conditioning units there are
cable ties, cable, pieces of pipe, moss and mud (picture 10), some of this will
inevitably have washed down the drain pipes and could cause some partial or
complete blockage underground, this in turn will obviously also reduce the
capacity of the gutter.
I think the best course of action would be to clean out the gutter and monitor the
situation for a while, if you then still have a problem you could introduce another
outlet above the office windows, discharging the water onto the yard.
Picture 12 is showing the extent of the delamination of the gutters, some are
worse than others. Picture 13 shows the corrosion to the gutter bolts. It is
impossible to say how long before the delamination and corrosion cause the
gutter to leak, so if you would like me to give you an estimate to line the worst
ones, then at least you will have some idea of costs and can budget accordingly.
Our quotation for removing 2 large N° flues (picture 14) and the smaller
redundant flue (picture 15), also to clean out all the gutters. Our price will include
all access, safety, waste removal and labour.
Our price is £
If you would like to discuss any of the above please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Yours faithfully
