Hi here's my unfortunate scenario! I have a bay window on the front room of my house and the bay roof has roof tiles.The roof is leaking and water is running down the walls!!! I had a so called roofer out to fix the problem and he replaced a few tiles and reseated the ridge tiles and charged me over £200!!! the roof is still the same !! When there is steady rain without wind it does not leak.When the rain is heavy and there is a strong wind the leak starts.As I have had enough of this problem(it has been goin on for months) I decided to knock a hole in the inside ceiling to see where the leak is coming from.My mate sprayed his hi pressure washer at the roof to simulate the conditions that causes the roof to leak and I put my head up the hole and noticed the water running down the house wall tracking across the wooden frame work and dripping onto the ceiling and walls.He reckoned the lead flashing from the roof to the house wall was the problem so I sealed everywhere on the flashing I could and the other night it started leaking again!!! Does anyone have any ideas what the fault could be? I like a challenge but this is now doin my head in!! I have done a visual check on the roof and there is nothing obvious.Every thing looks good ,no cracked tiles or anything.
