I have a problem of water leak when it rains, and I got up on the roof to see what was going on,
and I can see where the problem is, and logically a valley cannot be formed at this joint because of the nature of the "plane" of two roofs meeting, even though it has a shallow valley made of lead sheet, it cannot cope with heavy rain so spills over and water then lands under the tiles of the side roof, from where it has been leaking through poor condition of the felt.
Tiles of the roof are in very good condition, could last another 20 to 30 years, beyond my life, so what can be done to remedy the situation?
will I have to get a roofer to take down tiles and relay a new roofing felt and re-construct another valley a little more deep if it can be done though I can't see how they can make this valley more deep due to the nature of the planes the two roofs meet at.
any other suggestions? like can it be cemented so that water from main roof can only run on top of the side roof as a temporary fix.
Please see a small model i made to demonstrate how the two roofs meet, and so i am not sure what this configuration is known as, all help will be appreciated much, Thanks in advance
