I have a problem with rainwater soaking the inside of my fascia boards at the front and back of the main building. When shining a torch in the loft during wet, windy weather this is clearly visible. The front elevation has a gabled projection adjoining the roof, so the wet fascia area has an asbestos sheet directly above it, which is lined with felt. In other words, the pitched roof doesn't slope in that direction - it forms an apex above it. There's a length of lead visible above the guttering, which I presume is there to act as a drip edge or something similar.
Conversely, to the rear of the building where the wet fascia is situated, the pitched roof slopes down to the eaves. However, this area isn't entirely visible from ground level, as it adjoins the tenement.
I had all the guttering replaced around 4 years ago and the fascias/soffits clad at the same time. The roof looks sound from a ground level inspection with binoculars.
I'm therefore at a loss as to how the water's getting in and would appreciate any advice offered.
