Suspected leak in roof

[Keitai]

Saw this in my mum's loft. Think the black sheet , is that the membrane has a hole in it. It's wet on the hip below and boards. She's selling, what can I do to rectify?

Looks like a valley leak.
I would expect the valley to be purpose made valley tiles under interlocking roof tiles.
No fix its strip and replace

It looks like a hip? And yes the black stuff is roofing membrane - its sometimes badly fitted with sagging in the wrong places.
Could you please post a couple of pics showing the outside?
Whatever, as above, you will probably need to strip for a proper repair.

Do I need to strip tiles and replace large amount of membrane then put tiles back on?

Is there a quick repair which could be done, mum's moving soon?

 

[datarebal]

best replace the run of felt up the centre of the valley after the valley has been removed.
to leave it for another isn't nice . there is no ten minute fix imho

Keitai,
Why not, as I suggested earlier, just post outside pics of the area - it might be that there's a tile or a slate missing or slipping? Or a simple external solution.

Not sure when I'm going back. Will do when I go back if they haven't moved by then. Membrane does look like it has a small hole in it

The best thing to help your mum is not to get involved, you will only make it worse!

Kettle, can you tell the difference between a valley and a hip? Can you tell tell the difference?

I had a leak in the roof once. You should of seen look on the face of the homeowner.
