Hi All,
We have a flat roof over the porch, and there has been some water getting in over the past few weeks.
It is a 50s concrete flat roof, and although you cant see from the pictures there is a drip groove which does filter a lot into the guttering.
There is still a fair bit still working its way back to the brickwork and back down, which is finding its way inside.
I've checked the drip groove and there is nothing stuck in there to cause a bridge.
On the right hand side of the guttering in the picture, the gutter bracket does seem to be right up to the concrete edge which cant be helping but doesn't seem wet there.
I cant see why the water may be getting back to the brickwork further up.
I'm wondering why it is doing this as next door has the same setup and no issues, perhaps a bit more of a felt overhang down past the edge.
Is it a case of getting the flat roof replaced, or would there be a retrofit solution?
Thanks in advance, James
