Hi Wonder if someone can give me some advice. We had a new flat roof installed last year and it looks a good job by a reputable company. We discovered a leak recently and they come to look at it and added some sealent over the existing seal. I'm a bit concerned this isn't the best remedy if the...

Hi Bob Not at all I have been very appreciative of your advice, haven't disagree with it at all, really appreciate it. Yes the damp survey guy was more of insurance in case the flat roof installer had any quibbles. Well I take objection to you saying I've gone smashing it down lol I thought I...

Just an update in case your bored due to everyone isolating lol So a really good damp guy came today and spent a good while taking readings and looked at it and good job we investigated - loos like the roof is letting in water maybe from a failed seal where it was chased into the adjoining wall...

Yes sorry have attached wider view, the beam is solid concrete no plasterboard on the white side you can see, just the dark ceilin. Roof is 100 sound - was replaced last year following the previous roof leak hence the water damage repairs and be taking off the blown plaster.

Attached a pic. There was a previous leak from a leaking flat roof. Which has been sorted. Had a plasterer come around who suggested just but a new bead o we it and skim over and the adjoining ceiling, any thoughts? My thought is do I cut the existing bead out, replace with a plastic bead and...

Thanks for replying Ken Ideally I'd like to either plasterboard over it or remove the offending bead and apply a new one I think.
