Raising ground levels is a planning issue and could require planning permission if a complaint is made.

As part of the fix you need two courses of oversailing frost resistant bricks. You can see those commons and the joints are starting to be affected by frost. Otherwise, someone will be back up there again in a short period of time doing more work. The cost of the work should be shared amongst...

Yes, get someone who knows what they are doing with lead to fashion a lead slate with a bit of an upstand.

Ponding is not in itself a defect. There is a theoretical risk of it reducing the life of some types of membrane, but it's not a cause of leaks. A membrane is leaking or it is not, and that's nothing to do with ponding. You need to have it checked properly to confirm if it is leaking. Firms...
