Hi,
at work there is a lean to that constantly leaks when we have a heavy down pour.
The water is coming in down the brickwork behind the plaster (there is a small hole in the plaster now ) the plaster gets sodden when this happens and is going moldy
When the water runs down the back of the plaster it hits the top of the wooden door frame then finds it's way out along the architrave. (this is an internal door under the brick wall inside )
We have had the builder back, and he said it was due to the guttering above being blocked. i cleared the guttering but it happened just the same at the next heavy downpour. we got him out again (he came when i wasn't there) and again blamed the gutter being full/blocked
I have took some pictures of the area, i am not an expert but believe that there should be something else where the plastic roof joins the brickwork under the lead ? there is a brown plastic type edging but it leans toward the bricks helping the water to run the wrong way. i can also get my fingers down the gap ?
i also think the lead should be a bit wider and cover onto the plastic more than it does ?
any help and advice greatly appreciated
