I have a leak in the roof over my utility room, which has come to light since the storms started in October. Whilst I'm OK with doing most internal things DIY, this is a new area for me, so some advice would be gratefully received. When it rains, water drips from this pipe clip (a gas pipe in case you wondered why it wasn't insulated.)
As far as I can tell, it seems to have soaked its way down the joist which forms the base of a valley from an area where a portion of the tile pokes through the membrane, which is ringed in red in the photo below taken from the other side of the joist.
From the outside, the roof looks OK (to me anyway). Difficult to tell exactly where it is, but I think the ripped membrane would be somewhere under the middle of the roof area that is visible in the photo below, on the far side of the valley. The valley itself appears to be fibreglass, is approx. 17 years old, and has no obvious sign of damage.
I've called three roofing companies over a month ago now, two never got back to me, one said they would get back to me but haven't......So, is there anything I can do as a temporary repair, until demand for roofers has dropped and I can get someone to look at it, or maybe even fix it properly myself?
