Hi all, Looking for some suggestions on how to deal with drainage on the garage roof after I just rebuilt it. I want the guttering to drain into a down pipe feeding into an aco style drain. I can’t figure out how to connect the drain to my existing clay gulley (below) to finish it off...

Hi all, I posted previously about solving my garage drainage issue but I’ve finally come to sort the flat roof out. It’s been stripped back to joists which look to be in OK condition. Nearly finished putting OSB3 deck onto it and have sealed cut ends with bitumin paint as advised. This all...

Thanks, that’s one to think about. Someone else law told me to tank the bottom three courses of bricks inside and outside but I’ve no experience with that. Looks like it was tried I. The inside walls once but it’s chipping away I assume under water pressure.

Thanks Deluks for taking the time to reply. Digging round the back was a nightmare all sorts of stuff smashed up and thrown behind over the years. I’ll trim the dpc back and see how it goes next heavy rain. No water sits against the wall now apart from one wall where I have no access due to a...

Hi, My 90s (cowboy) single skin garage is a nightmare. The roof needs fully replacing and it also leaks from the sill/wall joint. I have a trench around the base and a mortar fillet covered in waterproofed to deflect water away from the base. It it still seems to be leaking. Based on the...

That makes two of us I have not had chance to implement any fix until recently. With all the rain this year the garage is worse than ever. I have dug a drainage ditch arount the back and put a mortar fillet around any exposed slab to deflect from the base of the garage wall into the ditch but...

Just wondering if you got this done before me and if so how did it go? I ended up getting sick and only just coming back to it now.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I forgot to upload the externals. I have access to the back of the garage and already excavates a two foot trench to see if this reduces the issue but it made no difference. The other side has a narrow gap before a neighbour's fence, no access is possible...

Hi, I bought a house, thought a 9 meter long garage was a bonus - It's a total disaster though. The felt roof leaks which is not too bad, it must be 10 years overdue replacing. Just going to stick box profile roofing on it. What took me by surprise if that the garage leaks from the bottom...
