Thanks @tomm12 and @johnny2007 appreciate your comments.As noticed in the other thread someone mentioned the flashing is the problem and I agree.
You will have to get up there and lift the back gutter flashing and the tile course above the back gutter, and see if the roof felt is arranged properly then re-set the felt, the back gutter and the tiles.
With those tiles soakers are needed at the chimney stack sides not extended cover flashing.
Take a hose pipe on the roof and water test everything as you go.
The pointing is a bit of a red herring. Its bad but its not the problem.
I understand what needs to be done for the soakers, but so I’m crystal clear, can you clarify how the back gutter should be done differently? Am I right in thinking the changes required are to:
1) be angled so that water flows off it to the side
2) have tiles coming further over it
3) have the mortar removed from behind it?
Thanks again
