Had this house for a year and prior to bifold door rain was pouring off the roof onto the what was windowsill. Now with install of bifold I can see the internal brick at bottom is visibly damp. Thinking after years of water pouring down it's caused this damp inside that wall over time. Spoke to a roof plastics company and they are not interested. Want to eliminate this issue to hopefully fix this damp inside and let it dry out? Going to try get someone to look with drone to see if level of roof has sagged maybe? Anyone else found a solution? Don't think water should ever pour off a roof like that...

Drips - yes. water pouring off - ? I take it the tiles are profiled as on the lower roof?

Video of this pouring please; hard to visualise the extent of what you claim, and even if your entire roof were sloped towards the dry verge there simply wouldn't be enough surface area to collect sufficient water for what would class as "pouring", with Roman profile tiles
