Leaking guttering and damp flaking plaster in inside wall. What can i do?

Hi there, From your description i would say that you require a roofer. I imagine that the new joint that was installed is failing, this can be something as simple as a foriegn body in the joint when it was installed i.e. Sand, grit etc. or it is not the correct joint for your existing guttering (which i have seen on numerous occassions!). If the second instance is correct then the rubber insert inside is not compressed and so not doing its intended job. I would install the correct part for the job and it is well worth checking that you have no broken tiles/slates above the affected area and that all roofing felt is intact beneath them. Another bit of advice is to have a roofer pop round to you during a down pour, this will expose any obvious problem to the fall of the gutter, which may have been altered due to a slightly misaligned bracket. Finally, have any downpipes you have checked for blockages. Sounds obvious but if water is sitting in there for too long it always finds a way! Hope this has helped? Many thanks, Lawrence

post the job in damp proof section it could be a varity of differant reasons and requires an inspection to asses the problem. hope this is of help alex

Hi 1st of all wall the gutter re-newed or just repaired? didnt that take of the old plaster or just dry out the old rub down and re-paint Darren

You would need to require a roofing inspection to see if it has travelled further back. Or it could be a variety of different reason but I would definitely inspect from the first course of tiles.

I would recommend calling a roofer out to inspect we’re the problem is if they can’t find a problem get a professional in guttering to inspect facial boards and gutter clips etc
