HI everyone,
My name is Andy and I am hoping that someone could please offer some advice.
In October 2012 we had an extention done, part of this was to knock down the adjoining garage and rebuild, the rebuild consisted of a new lean to roof which I think was done to about 18 degrees. All the plans were drawn by a qualified surveyor.
Whenever we get heavy rain full parts of the internal walls get damp and we get circular looking damp patches on the internal plastered wall. In the garage there are no plaster boards just original walls that get very damp.
The builder advised the roofer to come out again a couple of times, and in the end he applied another section of lead flashing. We thought this had fixed the problem but it seems that whenever there is heavy rainfall the rain finds it way back in.
So we're not sure what we can do now, I don't have any faith in the roofer and builder we have given them every chance to resolve this. Ideally I would take legal action but that is expensive, so the other option is to try and fix myself but I am not a builder/roofer.
We need to get it sorted as it's getting the wife and me down now.
If there is anyone that can offer some advice I will be eternally grateful.
I will upload some pic shortly.
Cheers
Andy
