Damp in a first floor ceiling at my mum's appears to be entering from beside a Velux in the loft conversion above.
Some of the (clay) tiles around the window butt right up against it, and I suspect moss and debris have built up on the flashing below so that water is spilling off the side of the lead and finding a way through the felt below.
Should there be an inch or so clear passage between the window and the tiles bordering it?
If so, I assume that the tiles around the Velux will have to be removed and cut to leave this channel. Does this sound right? Not a job I could undertake. Could it be done from inside, or is it going to be a major scaffold job? Anyone have any suggestions for a suitable roofer? (Sevenoaks, Kent)
Thanks
