Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on what could be the cause of a damp patch on the inside of the roof verge in a three bedroom terraced house.
This is in the outrigger part of the house if that makes a difference...
It’s been an ongoing issue with me since I bought the property and have recently had new eves trays fitted to the gutters as well as repairing some cracked tiles on the roof.
The problem persists and a different Roofer has said the problem is that water is running down the verge of the Outrigger (see first image).
There is also no ventilation in the loft area directly above which has caused the underside of the felt to become saturated.
They have recommended striping the outrigger roof and re-doing this with breathable felt and a few vent tiles.
My question is, would condensation in the loft cause this much damp to get in the bedroom?
Also would the recommend works stop the water from running down the verge of the wall?
I appreciate it’s difficult to judge by photographs but would appreciate any help.
Thanks
