yes, the leak only appears when it rains heavy and seems to be when the wind direction is blowing it right onto the side of my stack. looks like next step is to start finding out where the membrane ends.

4 pots.

the pots have been capped, flaunchings have been done. by done, I mean they've been re-cemented. I dont think they knocked it all back and added any layers

Thanks for the replies so far. Pics incoming but to answer your questions: the purlin sockets do seem to line up with the edge of the stack. the chimney breasts is within the thickness of the party wall. I haven't had the roof re-done, but there is a breathable membrane indicating it has been done in modern times. When I bought the house there was signs of leaking in the same spot, which is why I did all the work I've done so far, thinking it would rectify it. I did notice, since the flashing and leadwork, the leak appeared worse than before. it was a trickle before, now it's more like a steady stream. Flaunchings were re-done when I had a wood burner fitted as it needed lining and a new pot fitting.

no, it joins with neighbours house. its where the chimney stack is.

So I've a stone terrace, c1900. Roof has been updated as it has a breathable membrane. I've had the chimney stack re-pointed and new lead flashing/soakers done. Im still getting water leaking into the loft down the wall where the chimney stack is, it drips heavily from the sockets of both purlins. Only happens when I get heavy rain. It's dripping not just soaking through via osmosis. Flaunchings have been redone and all chimneys have been capped. Any ideas?
