I think more pictures of the outside would help, especially higher up and maybe stand back a bit.

Hello,

Floorboards taken up this morning and it's bone dry, the bottom of the void under the joists is higher than the water leakage outside. It's still coming out constantly and is clear water so I think probably a mains leak. Customer has called Welsh Water and they are sending someone today or tomorrow.

Lol

Unbelievable :rolleyes:

Stand further away and take another pic, we can't make out anything as it's too close.

Okay great, so I don't need to fix a long valley rafter from the ridge to the wall plate then? Do I need to fix a layboard onto the new jack rafters?

Yes it's for an extension so a valley needs making up to join the new pitched roof to the existing pitched roof. So do you strip the tiles off the existing roof to expose the rafters and fix a layboard onto them first and then fix the new jack rafters onto the layboard?

Hello, just wondering what the method is for forming a valley? Looking on the web I see some have a long valley rafter with jack rafters butting to the sides of it and others have a layboard down one set of common rafters and jack rafters laid on top of the layboard. Is there a specific reason...
