Hi, My house was built in 1840 and has a two storey bay window. The roof has a sunken lead covering with a shallow integral gutter running at the back along the wall of the house. this gutter is linked to a normal gutter on either side of the bay. The problem is that it cannot cope with heavy rainfall or the amount of ice and snow we have had recently. The water can literally pour into the house. Two builders have said it is a poor design and little can be done. We are in a conservation area so cannot significantly alter the look of the house. I would be grateful for any helpful comments. Many thanks, Ruth
