Hi guys a few updates on this one. They attempted the repairs with the roofer 15th December. What they advised they had done: - Checked the gutted and confirmed all was sealed and the issue was not with the box gutter - Raised the felt along the wall to catch any run off. - Covered and sealed...

Cheers for your help, I will get some quotes, at least I know now what I'm talking about. Thanks again

Expensive job? I'm guessing cost if a few Jack's for the rotten ones, scaffolding and then time, few hours or full day would you say roughly.

Thanks guys. Probably not something I can do myself unfortunately because I'm terrified of heights and just about get heigh enough to wash the downstairs windows! Is it a big job for a roofer? Scaffolding job or doable on a roof ladder?

Hi all, While in the loft this weekend sorting some stuff out (don't go up there very often) I noticed the rafters on both ridges looked damp and a couple of the battens that comes from them that the tiles hook to where quite soft. The house is a 1930s semi so no felt or backing on the tiles...

I think ive worked it out, just waiting to speak to the roofer again to make sure they sort this when they do come out but how what do you think. I only had a few terrible photos from before they put that extra lead over the corner because it was dark by the time I got home each night but and...

Thanks guys, just disheartening and want it sorted now. The 2 previous "fixes" where done by thier installation assessor so only hope I have now is an actual roofer can fix it but we will see just don't have any confidence.

I will keep you posted just waiting on a date they can do the work now. One other thing they are going to do is sort some of the pointing on the brickwork of that wall above the box gutter and they said it could be going behind the box gutter down the pointing or lack of it.

Thanks for your help mate, I did mention a few of the ideas from here when talking to them and he took them on board and to be honest is the reason he's highering the flashing down the length of the box gutter as he didn't mention that. He did say the verge pointing was very wet and it does have...

I will give them the chance with the roofer to do what they think and see if that fixes the issue.(Plastic verge caps and higher flashing on the box gutter) From what you guys have said on here it probably won't, if that's the case I will demand it being stripped back and the leak finding this...

Thanks guys they came out today. They are adamant about he box gutter is sealed and also where metal meets plastic is sealed which makes sense as it's fine in normal rain. They still think it's the mortar because there isn't enough overhang so it's seaping through this and down behind the...

Thanks for your help mate

That's what I was thinking to be honest they have siliconed the flashing along the soffit but not on the bottom of the soffit, if that makes.sense, you can just about make out what I mean in the last two pics. I can see water marks running down that soffit so potentially it's running along the...

Thanks, the utility room has been fine, no signs of damp on the inside of there and we have been in this house for 2 years now. I've attacked the roof and gutter with the hose a fee times and it seemed ok which is why I got my hopes up that it was fixed but olny when the driving rain came it...

Thanks for your help mate

Thanks mate, would you presume it's something originally at fault with the tiled roof on the original extension as with it being an outside was previously we would not have noticed anything.

Hi all looking for a bit of advice really. This is still ongoing with the company who built the conservatory and they are bringing their roofer next week to take a look but wanted some advice really before they come back. Originally there was quite a bad drip into the conservatory the day...

Yea thats right mate, utility room is the solid wall on the right and is single story. I can see from the pictures a vertical dpc strip was added around the door but I was not around for alot of the work I was at work myself so cant tell about the joins to existing walls. The dwarf walls have...

Hi Notch, I had posted some pics to help explain. This was the space which had decking on before the build started. The wall to the left is the exterior of our utility room and as far as I could see and the home report stated when we bought the property there is a horizontal damp proof course...

Thanks again mate. I have a ceiling fan in there which I have on most nights and will open both the windows. Already after about and hour the bit closer to the roof seems dryer, hopefully signs of just condensation as it's only surface.
