Thanks both. I think that makes me confident enough that getting the lead flashing chased into the wall and doing nothing else is the way to go.

I mean only the flashing and roof covering. It'll remain a garage. I'm fairly confident it's the flashing that's the problem but not sure how I could be certain. The render appears in good nick, although there's always stones coming off it. Hence I'm not inclined to open up the wall for a...

1970s semi detached house, pebbledash render on cavity wall. Garage, with flat felt roof was build in 80s, I believe, at the side of the house. There isn't any lead flashing where the flat roof meets the house wall. It was just mortar. I've painted it liberally with bitumen paint and that has...

I keep getting conflicting advice! Including different views from the Howdens salesperson and the details on their website. I've got an induction hob, with a laminate splashback behind it, which matches the worktop. I know if I had gas, I'd need to have something else behind the hob, or cover...
