My bedroom flat bay roof is fine, apart from the large gap between the rear of it and the main slate roof. The house design has a brick height gap between the flat roof and main house roof.
The front of the house is East facing and, thank goodness, the main winds and rain blow in from the West. When the wind is occasionally from the East, the rain blows into the gap and then the bay ceiling starts to leak.
The flat roof material is either felt or lead. I can only view it and the gap from over the road. There is guttering around the edge.
Is there a reason for the design to be this way, i.e letting the roof space breath? The adjoining semi has the same design.
If this gap is not needed, what would be the best way to create a waterproof seal over this gap?
Thanks in advance.
