Evening All,
Wondering if I could get any advice/pointers/ how much it would cost to sort this problem out.
Basically live in a town house (ex council), long story short...
We are the end property where the rain would normally slope downwards to the gutter running through the middle of the third property.
We had our roof patched 7/8years ago, no issues with leaking,
about a year ago the neighbour did his roof, since then we have had leaking at the join between the two houses in the bedroom, and only last Friday we now have a leak coming through the roof out of the light fixing which has subsequently shorted out the electrics etc. and is sort of beginning to soften the plaster and bow..
Directly above is the gutter where the water is getting in, called insurance usual theres no storm damage etc so claim denied, but what I did get is a handful of pictures which saved climbing up there, which shows the neighbor has raised his roof about 2" or so. which is preventing the water from running off and is basically just pooling up.
Neighbors a full ****** so I dont really think il get far, even the insurance assessor said he should have consulted you first, and If i recall he is actually getting a leak coming through as well.
Pics below, just wondering what the best course of action is really,
planning to get the roofer that did the job and getting him to come round/ get his details etc and see what he says,
Any help much appreciated
