leak

Old 1902 house. Recently moved In and just had the first heavy rain. Concerned how the pebbledash seems to soak up the water. I’m aware the gutter needs looking at directly above the down pipe but I can’t figure out the other patch’s other than them being near a structure door window etc…...

Hi, We’ve had an issue with the boiler losing pressure that needs refilling once a week. We’ve had 3 different leak detection companies and they could never find a leak. We’ve had multiple boiler engineers and they can never find an issue with the boiler. Recently, a gas engineer suggested...
