I don't doubt that is the best solid repair. But after a beer or so I'm feeling lazy esp as I have to GiB the ceiling inside. Obviously if it got wet I'd throw a tanty. I'd probably come on here and rave.

Of course, but I would hardly say it flows. I take your point though.

Very simple; if it is raining, you can't fix it. If it is not raining, there's no need to fix it.

Well it rained and I was getting drips and it wasn't windy. Quite specific place between the outside board and conservatory. There is damage in other places indicating that it has leaked in another place or two.
Ended up pulling off a decromastic tile. It was a bit rotten where the edge was sitting in gutter water/detris. When reroofed from iron they didn't extend the building paper full length to the edge. So we did that, there's evidence of water from above. Directly in line with the side stay of a TV aerial. Love those guys. Sealed that stay.
Flashing actually looked great. But there was a 0.5 to 4mm gap to the ally of the conservatory, just in the 1.5 metres in the affected area. Sealed that. And top of flaashing while we were there. Replaced tile with a new spare (thanks whoever left those in the ceiling I found a while back). Sealed any nails as they went down.
Glad to have my mate Matt helping and doing most of it (has a harness, doesn't want to fall off a roof again). Hopefully we've done enough to stop the leak/s. Next step is gibing the ceiling so clearly that needs to stay dry. Rain for Friday so should find out before I start.
