    Hi Folks,

    On my plans I've got a plaster moulding to obsure the guttering half way down the house. Does\did anyone else have this? Hod did it look when finished, what way did you do it? I was just going to get the chippie to box it off and and put metal around it and then plaster it, not sure how this will look. any suggestions welcome

    I am not exactly sure what you mean by this, if you mean boxing the pipe off with WBP ply then putting expanded mesh over this and then plastering it, I would think again.
    Why does the pipe have to be hidden?
    What happens if the pipe blocks with leaves,kids toys or branches?
    How do you remove it if this happens?
    I would keep it out where you can get to it if you need to.

    .....good point. There's a small block of 3 apartment next to my in-law's, and the down pipes were concealed in behind the brick piers. Excellent idea..........until 1 got blocked/leaked. As the downpipe was inside the cavity, it only had 1 wall to penetrate into the downstairs of the building, which it duly did..........flooded the place.

    No, out in the open for stuff like that............

    yes drainpipe i mean, it has to bend around a window underneath, doesn't have to be hidden, was architects idea to conceal rather than go around window...

    hadn't thought about what happens if it got blocked
