Anyone good with sourcing roof leaks?
Had a solid roof installed on a former conservatory about 2 years ago. Both sides developed leaks shortly after.
Builders then relaid the roof last year under guarantee admitting they hadn't put in the flashing correctly.
All been well till a few weeks ago when heavy rain appears to have got through on one side and left a large damp patch which is again damaging the interior paintwork and pissing off my missus.
Exterior brick work has patches of white.
I've had a look and cleaned out a bit of gunk under the lead flashing but couldn't see any obvious entry points.
Our landscape gardener has taken a look and suggested that the lead flashing isn't big enough.
Does anyone know if that's correct? Or could I seal the flashing to the roof somehow instead?
I will get the hose out and give it a fuller test but I haven't got the time to do a major repair myself.
Some pix of flashing below:
