It would be a cracking habitat for the Common Pipistrelle bat. Wouldn't have to go far to find moths and beetles to eat. But the Spider population would be booming both in the ivy and in the house. If you think the ones in the houses can get big you havent seen the sods in the ivy. I cleared ivy off my bosses house wall before it was repointed and there were house spiders with 3 inch leg spans and even a couple that were touching 4 inches. And i dont like spiders.

Yeh it looked lived in, I'm wondering if the back is the same? its a mess tbh and yeh the spider situation, dont like the idea myself.

The damp would be a major problem and if it has been pebble dashed it would be gr8 fun to rip it off.

I guess they took the gowing green to a new level.

When that lot comes down the roof tiles will be coming down with it! Why anyone lets it get a hold on their house is beyond me!

[swinny]

i'll sort it and my brother can do the re-roof as he's a roofer lol

 

unbelieveable how they've let it get so far! i'd laugh my socks off if it was found out that they refused to pay for it to be pruned/controlled anually haha whole new can of worms there now
