Default Leaking chimney, but where is the water getting in? (see pics)

what purpose would having lead flattened out ontop of the felt round
the stack add?

FACT we don't know what's under the flashing. Until it's inspected by
someone we never will - simple irrefutable fact no?


The point is, there is no flashing.

That does anything.

The usual "doom & gloom", "pull it down", "start again", "you've been
ripped off" theories are being vigorously promoted (by the usual
suspects) solely on the basis of their imaginations and alleged
expertise yet they *do not know* what is actually going on becasue
*they have not seen*.


I dont need to see what amounts to band of lead round a stack base
poking through a flat roof to know that isn't flashing. It might have
been once., but it aint now.


so all that's wrong you reckon is the lead needs to be wider and lap
onto the felt and not gobbed up with silicone anywhere??!!

All you are doing is betting.


No, that's your game. I've dealt with plenty of leaks, and I know how
the game works.


we'll see (I hope :))

do you do clairvoyance parties too?
