yeknomyeknom Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hi,We have a leak in our bedroom roof. With rain like today a significant amount comes in, rendering the room unusable. Our insurer recommended a local roofing firm who we have paid a significant amount to who have been unable to stop the leak. We then asked a locally recommended roofer round to try. Unfortunately the bits they suggested didn?t work either and they broke a roof tile in the process as they climbed out of the window instead of using the available scaffolding. Anyway, I?m not here to complain but to see if some magician out there thinks they might know the solution to our problem.So far our felt roofs have been replaced, and broken or bad tiles in the local area fixed, silicone applied all around the local area. Nothing works. We aren?t keen to replace the roof of an entire house for a leak in one room but it?s heading in this direction.Anyone? Anyone got any ideas or options at all?

Guest Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 May seem a strange question, but have you checked the guttering? The last leak we had was caused by the guttering being blocked which caused the rain water to travel through any little holes in brickwork, rendering etc to the ceiling inside.

KidKruger Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Could be water running from higher up the slope or from either side at same level.
