Have you got a garden rake Tunnie, and if so could you drag it back with it?  ???

Sadly no, garage empty due to building work.

I'll risk it till Thursday, when the bigger ladders arrive. We are a 2 story town house, so bit higher than normal.

I think he means the bit that looks like an extension, tied in.
Ah
I see , said the blind man  ;D
the line in the brickwork directly above the dish
that is odd  :-\

Could it be a cable running  from the dish horizontally? Well, sort of.  :-\

Far too neat to be a Sky cable. ;)

It continues vertically below the dish, and definitely looks like an expansion joint, but I can't figure why it would have been necessary. ???

It could be to allow for movement for when a new building settles if ground around is prone to movement or clay heave (expansion joint )
or it could be there if in close proximity to blast zones ,all new builds in Brackley have them,laminated glass,downstairs toilet bomb shelter etc  ;D
or the builder forgot his tape when marking out  :P

All the houses are town house style if that makes a difference, we all have ground, 1st and 2nd floors. Mine is just one of 2 that are detached. Others are Semi or Terrace.

Small development of 9 houses, they must have done it for a reason. All houses were built with thermal-solar as well, but that might have been just to keep the council happy.

No need, he could reach it from the velux.  ;)

In fact I'm sure he could reach it if he lent out of the velux far enough with Mrs Tunnie hanging on to his ankles.  :y

What could possibly go wrong?  ;D

Are they bricks or brick veneers (you often see this with veneers)?

That tiling around the Velux is very shoddy!

And if Mrs Tunnie has taken out life insurance losing her grip may not be the worst thing that could happen. ::)

Don’t know difference in bricks?

Being new build, found many issues.  :(

Solar thermal was installed by standard plumber who knew nothing about solar.

Fixed all issues though, until now

The pointing doesn't look regular enough for it to be a veneer, but......who knows. It may be a new type of veneer to make it look shitty enough to have been done by a tradesman.
