    Hi all
    I am looking for some advice regarding water coming into our sunroom from the ceiling..
    We were away all day and came home to a puddle on the floor.This happened last year also(sorry house is 4yr old) and we got the carpenter back as i thought there was a problem with the lead flashing. We have black windows and there was a movement gap between window and reveal so he siliconed all around.He said the flashing was ok....
    I went up there now and climbed out onto the roof to see if anything obvious and straight away i seen the problem
    There is a big gap in the lead right beside the window cill.
    At this stage i have absolutely no confidence in the carpenter.
    Any idea how to fix this lead?

    I am thinking of getting another piece of lead and putting it underneath the existing piece and sealing it with tech7??
