Neighbours pitched roof leaking directly into our wall, no guttering.

House No3
2 years ago

Our next door neighbour has a pitched roof extension, and the water is streaming down a gap between their pitched roof and our flat roof. The water is penetrating our wall which has caused a damp patch in our lounge.


We have spoken to our neighbour and the roofer has stated that there is no guttering taking the rain water away and as the gap is so small it wouldn't be possible to install one. A short term solution would be to fix flashing where the gap is, but this would only be a temporary measure as the water would pool on top.


I was just wondering if anyone could please provide any advice how this problem can be solved? We are struggling to get hold of roofers as they are so busy, meanwhile our wall is getting more and more damp.


Any advice would be greatly welcomed,

    A roofer will probably put flashing between the two extensions

    Can they/you make a gulley to aim the rain off yours?
