Roofing

Leaking window. Water running from roof down lintel

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Hi, the previous owners left a roller blind in one of our bedrooms. Now that I've removed it, water drips through the holes left by the screws when it rains heavily. It looks like water is running through the guttering and down the lintel. I can see it dripping on the outside. I'm not sure where it's getting through to the inside though. The loft is floored and the insulation is packed in to the eaves. Would I need to hire someone to fix brick work or a roofer/someone who can repair guttering? Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

As said above, get a local roofer around and check the tile/slate goes over gutter correctly, make sure the water goods are cleaned are clear - no blockage and regular maintence on them. Worst case scenario couple of rows from the bottom of the roof removed and new underlay laid into the gutter for a run off. Calum @ CMT Contractor
