So was a little surprised to find water dripping at a rate of knots through my five year old conservatory last night. Was coming in by the wall under the lintel. On investigation this morning (and after a fair bit of internal plasterboard came down) the flashing where the conservatory joins my rendered wall seems to have come away.
Chances of getting someone out today are slim so what is the best emergency repair I can carry out to at least stop it getting any worse. I don't care about how it looks I just want it watertight.
Do I also need to cover where the render has come away from the wall?
Any advice appreciated..was thinking some kind of expanding sealent? but I'm way out of my comfort zone (as it's not a computer!).
Clearly I'll get it repaired properly but that's unlikely to be till the weekend and I dont think it's going to stay dry till then.
Thanks
