Hi all,
New home owner here, looking for some advice.
Bought a house 1 month ago, full building survey, no issues noted regarding roof or loft void.
After the huge amount of rain yesterday noticed a wet patch in the corner of an upstairs room, on the chimney corner.
I then went into the loft and above the leak area and found rotting timbers.
It doesn't look great, looks like the timber could be rotten/rotting. And some felt has fallen away from the roof. I suspect the chimney flashing could be at fault.
I'm suprised the survey didnt pick this up. Wondering whether I could attempt repair work myself, although I expect a builder/roofer will be required here.
Any thoughts, advice? Any ideas on the potential costs of this sort of work?
Many thanks,
X
