Ongoing roof leak after loft conversion.

[David White]

Hi all.

I have a leaking roof. Bathroom ceiling has damp patches. Just poured some water from a loft extension velux window above where the leak is, to see where it comes through. I put new dry newspaper on the crawl space floor under the suspected area. It ****es through where there are two adjacent extractor fan roof venting tiles.

A bit of history. The loft conversion company installed these and they leaked. They then reinstalled them in a new position with new felt covering 6he old position.

So my question is , should I get a competent roof repair company in to sort this out as I have given the Loft company the chance to sort this? I think I need a new bathroom ceiling as well as at the time of the previous repair the company repainted the ceiling. Should I get my buildings insurance involved?

Yes the leak is from the outside roof so get competent roofers to rectify it, not the bathroom fitters from the loft company.

Your insurance should cover this, but make sure you emphasise that it's the loft company's fault and then your insurers will pursue them for the cost of repair and consequential damage and expenses.

And watch your insurance renewal go up, chase the loft co again to fix.
