Hi,
Further to my recent roof leaks, I have discovered that the roof of our block of terraced houses has THREE LESS courses of roof tiles than other terraced houses in a different block built at the same time! Others have 16 courses, ours has only 13 courses. No wonder the wind-driven rain can penetrate the tiles with so much less room for tile headlap. Roofer said it is the felt which has been holding the water... until it is rotten.
Are there any legal means to get the original developer to re-roof the house? It is outside NHBC warranty already, but I think I should be able to claim against incompetent work.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Phil
