We have a new extension which is 4.2m x 5m and a pitch of 14 degrees. We are using low pitch tiles that can go down to 12degrees. The problem is that we have a leak at 3 points - on both corners and in the middle just to the right of our upstairs window where the extension meets the house.
The flashing does not appear to be in one piece. On the left hand side, there is a short piece over lapping another piece and is not flat. In the middle it appears another 2 pieces are meeting. On both sides, it looks like the flashing ends right at the end of the house i.e. it does not go over the side.
Our builder said that the rain was going the wrong way and then that he had to push down on the lead flashing. He did the latter and the leaks are worse than ever and the rain is not going in the same direction.....
I spoke to my friend, who recommended the builder, and interestingly they have had the same problem and had to get a specialist who said the work was not good. We are still in a build and owe him money for this part of the job, which we have held back till this problem is fixed. I suspect we will get the run around so I am trying to figure this out. We have attempted to reach builder etc and all are away...
I have attached pictures, but suspect you may not see much as I had to hang out a window with a small opening. Any advice would be great. We have had a couple of problems with the builder and this roof.
