How long does uPVC guttering last for?
How long should my guttering last for? I’ve moved into a house recently which has had guttering for about the past ten years. It is uPVC guttering. I’d like to know how many years I can expect this type of guttering to last before it will need replacing.
Leaking Guttering
A part of guttering has been replaced to a new front section. When it rains, it is now leaking quite heavily in one or two places. Not sure if it’s under or over the guttering, but the water is running down the brickwork, which it never did before. Any idea what the problem might be and how to resolve the issue.

Neighbours Roofer Carried Out Repairs On My Roof
I live in a terraced house, there is a skew between us and next door. Next door is rented, few weeks ago the landlord said he'd had front skew repaired (we'd seen they'd been getting repairs, no idea what exactly, the scaffolding just appeared one day), the back one needed doing and would we go halves. I asked him to send me the quotes he gets, he laughed and said he'd get his builder to do it. Turns out his 'builder' is a local handy man. I've since had two roofers to look at the roof, the skew definitely needs work, but the 'builder' who did the front skew has bodged it, and carried out work on our roof at the side of the skew, that now needs fixed. Where do I stand on 1) getting next door to pay for putting the dodgy work put right, and 2) stopping them doing any more work on our side of the roof? I'm having visions of coming home one day and them up on the roof without asking again, same as when the front was done!
Do roofers always need a scaffold?
Do roofers always need a scaffold to access the roof? There's just a few slates loose on the roof and the first roofer we approached said we'd need a scaffold. Obviously, that adds to the cost of a small repair.
What counts as a new roof in terms of planning permission?
In terms of planning permission, does replacing the tiles count as a new roof? Or is it when the whole thing is redone?

Loose lead flashing
I have lead flashing around the sides of my Chimney, from what I can see the flashing has fallen out of place apart from the very top section, which is the only thing holding it in place. Can I get it refitted without buying new lead?
