Guttering over conservatory

Hi all

We have an old conservatory on our house, but the guttering around the roof of the house has come away and the rain is affecting ours and next door's property. The guttering won't be expensive I know, but in order to get to it, I have been informed requires scaffolding (ie, the conservatory is is the way). So, to mend a piece of guttering is going to cost in excess of £700! Is there any way I can claim this on my building insurance? Or does anyone have any other ideas :eek:

    Crikey - the reason I don't know the answer is because I have never claimed for anything in my life. Thanks for your advice :rolleyes:
