  • If that gutter stops well shy of the wall (like it appears to) there may be a load of water spouting vaguely in the direction of the header of your window.

    But not if it’s happening when there’s no rain… (I mention this as I’ve had customers telling me their roof is leaking, only for me to point out that it hadn’t rained in two weeks…)

    This is a good shout, cheers. Suspect that might be contributing. There are probably some hairline cracks in the render up there too. Reckon it needs flashing on my wall and a longer gutter for the neighbour then?

    I am planning to monitor it a lot now the ceiling is out a bit and going to a few more trades round

  • It might be ok, hard to tell from the pic. But 100% of the substantial amount of water that comes down the vertical wall adjacent to the roof needs to be going in that gutter - either directly or via some leadwork.
    So it definitely needs a proper look!

    But my money is still on leaky plumbing in the flat above...

  • Won't help with your worries, but you sure have the best floor in that building. Belle étage and all that.
