Apologises if this is in the wrong section.
I have lived in my house for 7 years and with all of the bad weather we have had recently we have noticed a couple of damp patches on the front bedroom wall. They are in three spots and, through some investigation, it looks as though moisture is creeping in under some lead flashing above the front window. The front of the house is getting a bit of a battering with the constant rain.
I am wondering what I need to do in order to get this fixed? I assume the mortar has failed and needs repointing? Is it likely that the whole front of the house needs doing or just the areas affected? Would a general builder be able to assist or do I need experts?
Thanks in advance.
