So the sag in the lead is causing the water to run in to the box section and out of the soffit vents instead of the gutter.
So do you think not all the tiles need to come off the domer and new lead? Just maybe redressing of the lead with a bit more support under the lead would do? Although he did mention that the lead was thin and grade 4 lead would be used. Thanks for your help.
No just that it is thinner than what we use now. I think he also mentioned that there may be a small hole.
Probably not a hole both sides but more likely not well supported allowing it to drain in to the soffit. He had just done a similar job for the same issue down the same road. All the houses were built at the same time by the same builder so guess they probably have the same issues. Just bad timing as we only moved in 5 weeks ago. Not looking to move for the next 20 odd years so would like to get it done properly. Not used the roofer before but he comes highly recommended. Think i will probably have to just go for it but will speak to him tomorrow.
Yes I was thinking the same, but from his description the lead is thin and so it would just deform again and that it wouldn't last. I'm waiting for a call back to discuss other options.
