Preserving wooden gutters
I have old wooden gutters on my property. They are at a point where most would simply have them replaced, however, they’re extremely important to me as it's a family home and my grandfather built them by himself sixty years ago. So I am willing to pay more than most would to preserve these gutters as long as possible. What efforts can I have, even radical efforts to keep these gutters going for at least another say ten to fifteen years? At what point, do worn down gutters become a danger?

Bay window repairs
I have a Victorian house that needs renovations. Both of the bay windows to the front need repair work. The slates have degraded as have the nails. The lead is also in poor condition. Assuming that the wood beneath needs replacing and any other associated work, what would an indicative price be? How much could I save by using composite slate or another alternative (is this even wise?) - Thanks.
