    Yes i agree. But our thinking is it’s not The Valley. As I mentioned The Valley is basically in the other room and we are thinking how could water track over 3-4 rafters to get to where it’s dripping from?

    Hi mate. Yes, The Valley is well felted and all lapped properly. But like I said, The Valley is effectively in the other room. The leak is in the extension? So it’s confusing

    @diy_fun_uk the spotlight is around this rafter..

    Hi mate! Thanks for the reply. Yes this is a good suggestion which we’ll probably do. Right now the weather is awful so we need it to be dry. As I said to notch7 - the lead work at the top of The Valley looks like it needs more work, but this part of the roof is in the kitchen. The leak is in...

    @Notch7 as you can see, look how much water is in the tray. It’s a lot. And that’s a screenshot from a video

    @Notch7 yeah I totally agree. It’s really puzzling. When we lifted the lead (roughly were the down lights are) the brick work was damp. Which was telling me water was getting in somewhere there. But we’ve had 2 damp patches about 2 foot to the right side of the light too. It’s frustrating as I...

    @Notch7 The cavity tray are the type with lead attached to them, so the cavity tray is installed into the brick work and the lead hangs down. Yes I know they are a pain and all builders hate them. But they look like they’ve all been overlapped. The cavity of the house is only 70mm, so they were...

    @Notch7 I thought this - but there’s a dry verge system installed and it’s been felted very well. But again, the verge goes up into the existing kitchen in the next room, So how could water be tracking over 3 rafters and into the extension? Really strange

    @notch but if there’s water coming into the cavity shouldn’t it hit the cavity trays? But again, if water was hitting the cavity trays how is is tracking under them and into the building? When we lifted the lead we could see some bricks along the back wall were wet too. Someone advised me to...

    Leaking extension roof (Ed.)

    I mate. There is no steel, inside there’s only a small door leading into the extension. It’s a very small room. There are weep holes but no weep vents? Just gaps in the brick work. I’m very puzzled because the water is a lot. Constant dripping in heavy rain. Im confused as to how so much could...

    Leaking extension roof (Ed.)

    Single story extension is leaking in heavy rain - we have a flat ceiling inside and in heavy rain both spotlights are dripping heavily with water. One towards the back of the extension wall and one towards the front. We’ve also got 2 other wet patches. We’ve been on the roof and inspected the...
