Water running down outside of soil stack.

[paulw656]

Hi.I had some work done, by the housing association, to stop water coming in the house via the soil stack breather pipe, for the second time as the first was a total bodge. Can anyone tell me, in their opinion, if the job done is good enough to stop the problem, as its doesn't look too clever and there is still a problem with water coming in (in fact it is worse than before). The water only comes in when the wind is blowing in a certain direction, straight at the back of the house. As you can see in the photos they have used silicone sealant round the collar, which shouldn't be needed if it fitted properly. Also since the second time they've done it some of the tiles are raised as you can see in photos.
This is the only side I could take photo of as I couldn't get round the other side with camera, but from the garden through binoculars the other side of the stack looks worse.
Cheers

The tile needs re-seating so it lies tight.

The bottom part of lead doesn't seem to cover the top of the tile enough.

Its simple really if there is water coming in then they have done it wrong.

Can see that there's no cover on the lead, clearly blowing up and underneath.
