Thanks for your reply I did the hosepipe test that to try and eliminate it being around the flashings and that my fix on that part worked - it did leak in when i wet around the flashings (almost instantly) so i figured i must have a 2 part problem once that was sorted. Dan

Thanks for your reply - I attempted to re-point the flashings, the old lead sealant was a bit cracked - i dug out all of the old lead sealant in it, allowed it to dry (as it was wet behind) and filled it full and 'smoothed it off. I did this on the right side of the pitch (from ridge down) to...

To be honest neither of us have mentioned any more about it. I've avoided the subject / contact with them and they haven't said anything either. Mind you, they've been away on holiday for the last couple of weeks. Everyone I have shown the photos to says the same, the damage existed...
