I will try to do that but I have not got a digital camera so will only be with photographs. Basically there is about a foot of roof left from the straight wall of the dormer window to the edge of the roof. It is a large window but just inside the limit where planning permission was not needed...

I have a large dormer window which was made for a loft conversion. I noticed that there was a patch of dampness and ceiling approximately 6-8 in width and height on the wall and ceiling also. I called a roofing firm who put sealant around the window frame but it still happened. I am told that...

Do not do that at all. My neighbors roof is causing problems for my property, destroying it actually . I have had to take them to court over it now with expenses for myself in the region of £35 k. Find solutions for your own house as water causes damage and when things go wrong such...

I have had loft conversion done a few months ago with a large dormer window. When it rains there is very loud noise of rain falling on the roof. I suspect that water from the flat roof of the dormer is not coming out at the front where the gutter is but spilling from the side onto the main roof...

the drain pipes have been put in only 3ish weks ago as the water from the main roofs was left to disperse on the extension roofs. There is however a space in the gutter as the juctional drain does not rest in the gutter itself to let water run from the extension roofs directly into the hopper...
