Onoff Posted Saturday at 17:58 Posted Saturday at 17:58 What about the other sides of this concrete column? Get in there with a thin vacuum nozzle. Get it as clean as then flood with the black stuff? Difficult to see without a bigger picture but I appreciate you don't want the BAU to know where you are...

Mot type 1 - asphalt ends in that green line just about
Pocster Posted Saturday at 18:14 Author Posted Saturday at 18:14 I’m going to dig out that mot1 area infront and to the left and right a bit . Try to pull the membrane back a bit . Fill that with concrete . Then bitumen everything so the bit in blue will be concrete
Pocster Posted Sunday at 08:59 Author Posted Sunday at 08:59 Cleaned it out . Didn’t need to go very deep until I hit some concrete ( presumably poured after the slab just to fill in the trench around it ) . That bit I painted bitumen on had some very loose stuff under the edge . Flipped that out and there is a potential gap there . So going to fill will concrete but keep it lower than the asphalt and then bitumen the lot tomorrow.
Andehh Posted Sunday at 09:07 Posted Sunday at 09:07 Bitumen down first, concrete over the top, bitumen on top? Double layers of water resistance?
Andehh Posted Sunday at 09:08 Posted Sunday at 09:08 That gap between the block and historical stone work has got to be a major weak point to focus attention in? 1

Andehh Posted Sunday at 10:02 Posted Sunday at 10:02 Are you able to dish it/level it to push water away from the wall??
Pocster Posted Sunday at 10:08 Author Posted Sunday at 10:08 4 minutes ago, Andehh said: Are you able to dish it/level it to push water away from the wall?? Bit tricky . But I will bitumen paint up the wall and stone a bit . I’ll thicker paint at that junction also to create a slight fall .

Onoff Posted Sunday at 10:37 Posted Sunday at 10:37 Sort that crack which has the veg growing in it! Rake it out, vac / clean etc.

Pocster Posted yesterday at 08:19 Author Posted yesterday at 08:19 Hmmmmm . Had long light showers last night and it leaked . It’s concerning because that corner wouldn’t have pooled I don’t think and the concrete is right up to the roof edge . Though not bitumen painted wasn’t expecting that …..
Pocster Posted 22 hours ago Author Posted 22 hours ago 1st coat done , will do 2nd later today tbh I’m even more sceptical this will fix it . Rain tomorrow so I’ll get a free test ! I do have a new theory on what might be going on , but I’ll keep that under wraps for the next episode!
