  1. Thanks SteveoElliot Sounds a long process to find your leak. Hopefully ill get there with mine. Many thanks all of you
  2. Hi thanks SteamyTea the guys are around again now. Ive asked them to look at the area you suggested
  3. Hi MarkC when you say render do you mean the bit I’ve circled? ive never liked that part but every respective person that has gone up there dismisses that area as an issue. But I don’t like the look of it.
  4. Does the roof fall away from the wall/corner where you get the water marks inside? ESSENTIALLY THE FLAT ROOF POOLS ON THE NEAR SIDE OF THE PICTURE. THERE IS LIMITED SLOPE BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION YES I THINK IT DOES. Does it leak every time there is an good amount of rain, or only sometime? ONLY SOMETIME. I WAS CONFIDENT IT WAS WIND RELATED TO START WITH BUT IT CAN BE SUPER WINDY AND NO LEAK AND THEN VICE VERCA What is above the wall, is the gutter in good condition? THE GUTTER LOOKS IN GOOD CONDITION TO ME. IVE INCLUDED A PIC BELOW As it is a kitchen below, is that causing condensation? NO THERE IS NO CONDENSATION ON THE SKYLIGHT OR IN THE CONDITION How is that pipe sealed to the roof? THE PIPE IS SEALED AS IN PICTURE BELOW What are all those circles in a line, bolts/screws? I AM NOT SURE THE PICTURE I HAVE SHOWN WAS ON A COLD DAY I WILL INCLUDE ONE ON A NORMAL DAY BELOW> I WILL ASK MY ROOFER TOMORROW THOUGH. Sorry for caps but felt the best way to respond to distinguish my response from your question cheers
  5. Thank you for the speedy reply I am not sure if it has a gel coat covering. The roofer is coming around tomorrow morning again i will ask. I appreciate the water can travel but we cant seem to work out where from or how. I forgot to add i had a guy cut a hole in the kitchen ceiling at the point of entry. So we could try and identify where the water was travelling from. Sadly there is some sort of layer of "warm roof construction" so the board i am seeing is not as detailed as i had hoped as the water could be travelling from somewhere else and then entering at the point of entry where it somehow reaches an obstacle or a low point. I am going to suggest perhaps we cut the next layer up from inside and remove the insulation to try to guage where the water first comes in. I will discuss with him the moisture meter you suggested. many thanks
  6. sorry the leak enters into the kitchen below the purple circle in the first pic. Ie at the corner of the skylight
  7. the leak enters the property below the red circle on the first pic.
  8. Hi i moved into a renovated property 6 years ago It is a terrace property with building both sides and higher than my flat roof. The kitchen has a flat roof with 3 sky lights. One large one medium and a small one. The roof is a GRP roof. We moved in and after about a year there was a small leak through the roof of the kitchen. We called the roofer out who saw no issue with his roof and we called the skylight people who saw no issue with the skylight. The roofer re coated the roof and we hoped all was good. Over the next 2 years it leaked periodically. We asked third party people to come and inspect the property. They said all the work looks in great order. I instructed a heating specialist who essentially heated up my kitchen and did some thermal imagine to see where cool spots were internally and externally. Nothing was conclusive but he saw some cool air coming in from a neighbouring property. After inspecting the date the neighbour repaired the whole of his properties timber side. After a year or so it leaked again. The leak every time comes in near or around the same corner of the sky light. We contacted the neighbouring property whose workman inspected his work and he said his work was still in perfect order. My roofer said the same about his work. The roof light people came again lifted up all roofs and saw no problem or evidence of water coming in. However there was no weathering ( the roof lights we have dont require them according to the company who make them but we had lead flashing fixed as the roofer was concerned all along this was the issue. After 4 mths its leaking again. It can rain non stop for 2 weeks and not leak and then another time it can rain lightly. there seems no correlation of wind or weather pattern etc to trigger the leak. Ive attached some photos. Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks in advance.
