It could be a simple pointing job , or the flashing has failed , , is there a cavity tray in place ? Get a hose pipe spray on the brick work this might identifi where the water is comming in
Unexplained water dripping following heavy rain
Posted by Steve Ranger, on
During the heavy rain last week water started dripping from our Hall ceiling. It comes down from a beam that is aligned with the external Wall. There is a porch with a flat roof to one side of the beam. There is no sign of damp elsewhere and no visible damage to the roof. Several builders have had a look but not come up with an answer

We have just dealt with an identical case in maidstone. The rain was penetrating the brickwork and running down the cavity onto the concrete beam above the porchway opening then into the ceiling. We re pointed the area, fitted cavity trays above the porch roof then finally watersealed the masonry once the pointing was dry. I hope this helps

Water can be a nightmare, it could be getting in 10 feet away and tracking to the lowest point or first outlet , ie light fitting , to be perfectly honest I would need to see this to give you an honest opinion , regards Andy

Hi Steve its hard to diagnose a fault without looking at the job. is there a window above the porch ? if you could supply a pic this would help. Keith. send me your post code I might be able to use Google to look at the porch.
