Hi,
I have a 2 storey 3 bed semi where the kitchen extends a meter or two out into the garden. The lean -to roof of this extension meets the external wall of the house half way up, and is sealed with lead flashing. The prevailing wind hits this side of the house and wind is howling into the blocks and through the walls at this intersection. The house is 17 years old.
What can be done?
Is it necessary to lift the tiles of the lean-to roof, and pump foam into the region where the roof meets the wall to seal it up? Or is it simply a case of replacing the flashing?
Any ideas appreciated.
