Can anyone help before I go insane?
I am really at a loss as to what is wrong with my roof/gulley.
I keep getting a damp patch appear on my ceiling (at the edge in the same place), after any long periods of torrential heavy rain. With all this rain we’ve had the week, it has reared its ugly head yet again and I really don’t know how to cure it. It always in the same place and within a space of a foot at the edge.
The house is partly linked by a gully and they consider the roof a ‘flat roof’ even though it is partially raised in the middle. There is no standing room.
Over the last 3 years I’ve had the ceiling completely replaced, the gulley completely re-leaded, (oh and they did do a good neat job so the chap told me whom I then contacted to; have the roof tiles themselves removed partway down and have, some kind of (can’t really remember what it was called), new product which was to help prevent the water from seeping through to the ceiling). I also have had the Crest tiles removed and re-seated (because shards of concrete (after another downpour), had perforated the internal membrane and caused a leak in the box room). So as you can see I’ve had quite a bit of work done.
However, I’m totally at a loss as to how to prevent this constantly reoccurring in the same place and would like to halt it in its tracks before it causes any damage to my new ceiling.
I was thinking to get it somehow sealed on the outside because I think it must be seeping in from somewhere. If I could get up there myself I would…it’s just sooooo frustrating!
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Many thanks.
