Our roof leaked in the storms of two weeks ago. Small damp patch in the sloping ceiling next to the dormer on the top floor escalated into huge wet patches and water dripping into the (newly decorated) bathroom on the floor below that.
Turns out it was a split in the lead round the dormer which was dripping/running down through a void in the eaves to the floor below then spreading out in puddles between the beams above the bathroom. Managed to intercept the worst of it, by smashing the back out of the airing cupboard on the stairs with a wrecking bar to pad it with towels. Paint in baby's room and the bathroom ceiling are borked though.
Roof repair cost £625 and took a couple of hours. The clearing up inside will take longer and hopefully cost less.
