Brilliant, thanks Gus.

Just looking back at the pics and there are two down pipes above that end of guttering so a large area of roof water into a small area at the end of that gutter, I would suggest too much. In fact all the roof above that arrowed line ends up at that gutter end. Add to that the downpipe from that lower gutter appears to be at the opposite end, the lower gutter may be overflowing as it carries all the water from the roof that’s visible 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know, I didn’t instal it but I believe the noise is simply wind blowing over the top, like blowing over the top of a bottle, I was hoping a swivel top means the wind turns the top around so it’s always pointing down wind.

I don’t know about the sums but this made sense… includes natural gas-fired steam boilers to guarantee continuous operation when there is low sunlight or during cloudy days.

Very much so, get legal with this any other action will achieve nothing in my opinion. From what you have said above you have all the proof you need. Try not to stress about this, no one is dying and life is too short. Imagine how you will feel when you win your day in court. (Keep us informed) 👍

+1 👍 Would still require all tiles coming off. I would strip a section from gutter say 4 tiles up just to see what’s there for the second opinion to see, and some pics here for us to chip in as well.

Sorry bud, gas fire in use otherwise I would seal it up. I was thinking of those swively tops that always point downwind, trouble is you don’t know how good they are (or not) till you try one hence this thread.

Ah, that was not evident from your original photo. I do wonder if the eaves trays and felt have been installed properly, a problem with minimum slope is with the kick up of bottom row of tiles can leave the felt creating a puddle next to the guttering. however if the tiles have a minimum slope of 35’ and yours is installed at 25’ someone is very much at fault, I am surprised that a roofer with decades of experience could make such a school boy error..

Also that down pipe will be discharging even more water at that end, depends how big the roof above that downpipe is.

I think you mean minimum pitch. The minimum roof pitch for handmade clay tiles is usually 35°, but it can vary depending on the type of tile: personally (from the photos) the problem only exists at the far left side and I notice that the felt tray (plastic sticking out into the guttering) is short of the roof, it should continue further left to the edge of the tiles. Also I think the guttering is a bit short, if it were a couple of inches longer it would catch water off that lead which I don’t believe it’s doing at the moment. If it were me I would angle grind into the mortar between tiles at the far left and insert a short length of eaves tray right up to the edge of the tiles, also I would extend the guttering a few inches longer . If you don’t want to do this get your roofer to do it, far cheaper than getting into claims (and best of luck claiming of NHBC). minimum slope is to stop wind driven rain being blown back under the tiles but the felt/membrane and eaves tray should still catch this.

Welcome to THE build and renovation forum, we love to hear and see pics of projects and lots of helpful info here from folk that have “been there, done that”. There is no such thing as a silly question, silly is not asking. We all started somewhere (decades ago in my case).

I had my own JCB 3CX and even taught myself how to drive it, yes common sense and erring on the side of caution needs to be applied. My mate was a health and safety officer (OTT) and when he came to my site was horrified with my approach. p.s. it was the best toy a person can have, I loved it

Great, at least you have peace of mind which is invaluable 👍

My daughter has just moved into her first house and has a gas fire in the lounge, I was just there and it’s very windy outside and the noise in the lounge from this wind across the chimney is loud. Can anyone recommend a chimney pot top to reduce this noise please.

Why not cut out say 100mm of that damaged cable and temporarily connect using a junction box (you seem to have slack if you cut the corner) if the tripping still occurs you have proved this damage was not causing the problem.
