Hi guys,
I have a small leak at the top of a roof gully between two adjoining roofs. The leak is at the top and depends on the wind direction - sometimes it does not leak. One roofer said it needs a "saddle" - a piece of lead to be inserted under the top ridge and adjacent tiles. He said the original only had cement which probably has cracked.
Another said he needs to take the whole gully apart and put in new felt under the tiles. The felt seems fine to me, looking inside the roof and the leak is only at the top.
Any advice welcome - what's the likely cause and typical cost ?
Looking at the photos, the leak appears at the top of the gully, where the higher roof from the right meets the lower ridge tiles on the left.
