Patching repairs is one option. Would still like the option of using the super silicon, but no one seems to sell it in the UK. Or have I missed something?

"There is no roofing felt," No felt would be concerning.

Is he giving you an insurance-backed guarantee?

Most probably another bodged job where the ducts are not connected to anything. Switch your fan on and see if you can feel any air coming out of there. As others have said, I would put some sort of cover on there to prevent the rain from getting in.

Yes. If you know where the hole/leak is, then it's an easy repair. The problem occurs if you have a very small leak and you can't locate the point where the water is getting in.

If you can see the OSB boards, then it is relatively easy to pinpoint the location of the leak. However, if your ceiling is covered with decorative materials (ie plasterboard, tiles, paper, plastic panels, etc) then it becomes a real challenge from the inside to find out where the water is...

That is one option. But why can't we buy the super silicone in the UK? And how would you even try and find a pinhole leak on a flat roof? With a car tyre, you have to immerse the tyre in water and see where the bubbles are.

Why don't you put some sort of vent (or even a fan) in that brick wall.

Be really, really careful who you let onto your roof; otherwise, you are in for a lot of pain and woe.

I bet that in-line fan ducting is leaking moisture into your loft.

That's what I was referring to - the roof tiles and the whole roof blowing off in very windy conditions.

That gap needs to be filled in or covered. Otherwise, the whole thing may blow off in windy conditions.

How much electricity do those panels generate. Maximum and minimum.

Someone needs to climb up there and clean using their hands & a brush.

It's leaking anyway, so you have nothing to lose by removing the capping. Or get some rubber flashing and glue it to the wall/lead flashing and overlap the capping.

So true. They are usually one-post wonders. They want help, but don't want to help.

Photos would help to help you.

He must be one of the good roofers then, as normally they want to be paid immediately (usually accompanied by menacing threats)

Which way is it supposed drain off. There doesn't seem to be a path for the water to drain off the roof. Looks like a lot of garages together.
