The Leaking Roof

Not a good look!

 This is the view of the affected part of the roof from the side door.

An even worse view...what a mess!!

This is the same leak from the laundry steps. Jim thought he had fixed the ongoing leak the other day when he was up on the roof, but after the rain yesterday, this proved not to be the case. So, it was decided to take off all the dodgy plaster and see what was underneath. Well, all was wet, but the leak seemed to be coming from a different area, so, it was a case of calling in the big guns!!  In other words...the good old expanding foam. As you can see, it looks like icicles, but is, in fact, just like hard polystyrene, and can be trimmed before putting up new plasterboard. We shall leave it open for a while, to dry everything out, and make sure we have really got to the root of the problem....at last!!
  Needless to say, he had to finish it all off with a good squirt of silicone on the outside.....the cure for nearly everything  it seems!!
