  1. Thanks for the help. No one even advised me any work was being done. As far as I can tell building regs were not followed and it was left without any attempt to seal it. First I knew of any issue was when I started to take on water. I will have to see what the surveyor says I guess.
  2. I do not have after photos and yes these are the photos before any work was done to my side but several years after his builder did the job. There doesn't seem to be any strip of any material to seal my side. To me it looks like the neighbour did nothing to seal in the join as I don't see any new felt or material anywhere just the new upstand. As I understand it the builder acting for me basically torched felt onto the upstand and down onto my roof to seal the gap that is showing in the pictures. I am being told that there was nothing to stop water going straight into that gap and then into my ceiling space. I am just baffled as to why a roofing company would make this sort of error if it is true. It is watertight now it seems but I am waiting for it to rain....I still am uncertain about what I am looking at to be fair. I would have expected to see some new felt on my side where they have ensured the job is watertight. But that's why I'm here I'm hoping someone can clarify for me.
  3. It has started after they did the work. I have a surveyor that has said that there should be felt or material up and onto the upstand to seal the gap. This has now been done by me. The roll of felt is material as I had my roof redone. These pics were taken at the time and I am awaiting a surveyors report. Here are a few more pics at the join between the two roofs. I am just curious as to who is right as I am being told it is a failure to seal the join that has caused the issue. I accept my roof was old and have since replaced it over this issue. The surveyor has provided the diagram shown stating that the join allows ingress. As I don't understand how these are done I just wanted to try and make sense of it. Thanks in Advance.
  4. Flat Roof https://imgur.com/gallery/JZ7F2xC Just looking for an opinion from experienced people please. This is my roof and the roof next door has the upstand. It appears to be unsealed after a roof replacement was completed. Is this correct ( leaving the join unsealed) because I am getting huge amounts of water into my bedroom and it seems to be coming in through the gap. I am suspicious because it seems like a major omission for a builder to make. Any help would be appreciated.
