hi all
i will start from the beginning
i had 2 chimney breasts removed. 1 from the living room and 1 from the bedroom directly above it.
the chimney breast is still there in the loft.
after i had them removed i noticed that when it rained heavily there was a wet patch on the upstairs bedroom ceiling.
i paid roofer A to have the chimney capped as he said the water must be coming straight through the open chimney top.
as the weather improved it didn't rain for about 6 months. when it rained heavily again i noticed the wet patch appeared once again
i went up into the loft to see anything and i saw that when i stood facing the chimney breast water was dripping down the right hand side side of the chimney breast.
i rang up roofer B as roofer A was not around anymore and he said i will go up ontp the roof and take a look. he told me some of the cement around the flashing? was cracked and charged me to sort this.
today it rained heavily again and the wet patch once again appeared again roofer B has not returned my call at the moment.
what i want to know is where the hell could the water that drips down the right hand side of the chimney breast be coming from?
as far as i know i have paid for the chimney to be capped and the flashing is sound now according to roofer B so where the hell could the water be coming from.
any help would be much appreciated as i can't afford to keep paying people and the problem is still there
