Right, I was going to use one of those aluminium / rubber "slates" to seal the pipe through the roof, but the pipe is too close to the wall, and just above the roof is a connector with outlets to toilet and bathroom sink. So the area that needs sealing is tight and fiddly. The seal at present appears to be some old bitumen/tar, which has been covered with strips of the bitumen/foil flashing strips, presumably to try and stop a leak. The area behind the soil pipe also has some kind of rubberised sealant. So the whole things needs to be cleaned up and re-done. The neighbour has what looks like some kind of bandaged/impregnated sealing system that looks like a solid lump of black rubber covering the whole area of these connectors. What system would the helpful folks here suggest ? It would need to be pushed into various nook and crevices in order to make a good seal. TIA, Simon.
