..I agree with steephill about it being a Russian Vine, although it would have flowered though... on top of that roof I expect... ..possibly an Ash tree too grown up alongside...?.... those green things just look like weeds to me...
I'm not going to allow it to grow over everything but il let the patch in the corner grow a bit to get a photo of it a bit larger. Trust me its the same plant and in a few days it will be double the size. Theres a bit over next doors fence so hopefully it will start to show leaves
Hopefully not. Doubt the neighbours are happy as theres ivy everywhere too ???? il leave it a week to prove its the same plant, il also ask my mate if its ever flowered as I havent been here long and hes put up with it fir 20 years.

That looks very eerie growing over the house like that. How long does it take to cover the house? is that years of growing?
A couple of suggestions, Russian vine or clematis Montana. A photo of the offending plant in full growth during summer would help a lot.
A summer pic would certainly help. Pic one doesn't look like anything that could achieve that sort of growth.

I don't know any plant that could achieve that growth, I know I'm not an expert but surely it would be well known?
Wild honeysuckle maybe? although it doesn't look like one.. trying to think of something that grows that much and quickly
I can think of a few things that could do the height but none of them look the first pic at any stage of their life.
are you sure the 2 go together andy?

Pics 1 and 2 must be from different plants -
I think Pic 1 is possibly Saponaria officinalis aka Soapwort or Bouncing Betty - grows fast and is invasive but doesn't climb.
I think Pic 2 is possibly Polygonum baldschuanicum/Fallopia baldschuanica aka Russian Vine/Mile a Minute etc etc etc.
Both of which were rampant in this garden when we moved in here - Andykites, are you my neighbour?
