<p>There is a leak at the front of the shop that appears to be directly below a boundary wall gutter. There is secure roof access via a steel cat ladder located at the rear of furniture village. Centre security tried to open the ladder but there was an issue with the combination lock so roof access was not possible. Viewed from the underside and from google earth images and the roof appears to be profile metal roof sheets. The gutter appears to be steel and given it only leaks in one area, its likely to be a minor issue. Once the lock for access has been replaced we would suggest the below:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Operatives to apply protective sheeting to work routes and working areas.</li>
	<li>To access the roof via the existing cat ladder.</li>
	<li>Inspect the gutter at the front of the shop, clean out debris and ensure the outlets are clear.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>If there is no visible damage to the gutter itself, then a gutter joint is the most likely cause of the problem.</li>
	<li>Clean suspect joints and prepare the area.</li>
	<li>Apply a high performance coating with reinforcement mesh.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Site to be left clean and tidy.</li>
</ul>

<p>Project Note: If once we have access and we investigate that the problem is not as above but more sever we will need to re-quote and will not charge the full quoted amount. We will need to parking in the rear service yard if this work is approved.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
