Hi All,
I have had a leak in the back bedroom for some time, but lately with all the heavy wind and rain its gotten quite a lot worse. Its now at the point that if I dont have it fixed soon the room will need more than just a bit of paint after its corrected.
My father and I have been up on the roof twice last summer filling in any gaps and cracks we could see however it has not made any difference. My father feels it may be the chimney but I genuinely have no idea. There is a small attic space above the bedroom which he has crawled through above the leak and he says this is dry.
Before I call out a roofer I thought Id post some pics here first in the hope that someone can offer any opinions:
Inside the bedroom:
Outside view, chimney above the room, and damp patch can be seen on the outside also:
Closer shot of outside damp patch:
Chimney and top of roof:
Close up shot of weatherboards (wonder if the gap is anything to do with it?):
Another close up just underneath last shot:
Is there anything that stands out in the above pics as being an obvious problem? I have very little knowledge of this kind of thing and really need some guidance!
Cheers
