Penetrating Damp on top of bay window

[santosh86]

Hi, I am new to this wonderful group.

There is a penetrating damp issue on top of the bay window. Not exactly sure from where the water is entering. One of the roofer told me that needs repointing and also to seal the lead where there are gaps, replaster inside the house where the damp patch is.

Another guy told me to replace the bay top roof with new Fibreglass bay top roof (£1800 quote)

I am not sure whether i am going in the right direction, can anyone please help if bay roof needs replacing by looking at attached photos.

...or it could be the window beam (timber possibly?) flexing and causing the mortar to split away wholly from the masonry, thus admitting rainwater?

Thank you for the reply. Windows beams are uPVC, previous owner replaced the window 5 years back. There are no damp patches on the bay window ceiling (inside). Also, we had cavity wall insulation (beads) done 1 year back

I'm on about the beam that supports all the masonry over the window opening, lol.
