Cage for drain in the middle of a flat roof
Cage for drain in the middle of a flat roof - what kind of thing is
available? The reason I'm asking is that Rooftec have just redone the roof - and they took away the existing cage - and don't seem to be able to find a replacement. With your help I might be able to tell them where to get one. The original was a frustrated cone (no jokes please!) with a base diameter of about eight inches and a top diameter of about four inches and a height of about four inches. It's job is to stop leaves and dead frogs dropping into the downpipe. -- Chris |

Could one of those terminal guard cages they sell for boiler flue outlets do the job? |

I wonder if there's a guttering company that would have something suitable? -- Chris |

It's job is to stop leaves and dead frogs dropping into the downpipe. Odd that no-one's managed to come up with something... I hate to admit to browsing the Scotts of Stow catalogue (erm... it is my mother's, not mine, ok?) but they have just the thing you're looking for. I think. Item number 26690 "Gutter Ball" 7.95ukp. I haven't tried their website, they may have an online catalogue: http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/ HTH Hwyl!
