Hello,
Builder installed a flat roof on a new dormer two years ago. Since installation it's leaked. He's blaming our solar panels which sit on on top yet these were installed after the leaking problems started. He said he would have used a rubber roof if he had known about the solar panels. I've attached pictures of the work. These issues don't look like they are caused by the solar panels. I can see fibreglass fibres everywhere and what almost looks like holes in between. There are some holes, cracks everywhere and the guttering looks wrong too. I've attached pictures of these. Can someone more knowledgeable than I take a look and see what they think. I'm going crazy and the damage inside to the new plaster is soooo bad
Plus, they also installed a fibreglass roof (their choice of roof not mine) on our single story back extension which had planning permission to use as a balcony. Now my logic tells me if you can't have solar panels on a flat roof made of fibreglass it's probably not a good idea to use fibreglass for a balcony either. With tables, chairs and heavy moving loads walking all over it? They were definitely aware of this as they installed doors out onto the would be balcony!
Sorry for the rant, please help!
Thank you in advance,
Rachel
