Bodged Job - Feel Sick

Some builders working on a neighbouring property replaced my unsightly guttering.
They've bodged it up and it doesn't look great. I think its functional but it doesn't look good. And I'm not actually 100% sure it is functional actually.

I don't want them back out. It gives me massive anxiety just thinking about re-contacting them.

I'm looking at getting the house repointed anyway.
But it makes me feel sick and I wish I could turn back time and never have started. I could just cry.

Sorry, I wanted to get this off my chest.

No, its in the bay. It might be the window.

I'm terrified of damp 😂DP's dad is a leak/damp specialist so we'll get him to take a look. But he's not coming until Christmas. Meanwhile, the wall gets sodden every time there's driving rain. I'd like to know for sure but I'm nervous he'll say its the guttering and then we're back to square one and its my fault for being too gung-ho with getting these builders in.

Well there's your answer right in front of you! Get him to take a look, hopefully he doesn't live miles away?

Gutters cost peanuts to replace, get a grip.
