This can’t be normal? Water dripping in during loft conversion

[Twerking9to5]

Part way through a loft conversion. As luck would seem to have it, it has been pissing down from the moment the roof came off. The roof had been covered by tarpaulin but not very well as the water is dripping down into the house.

I am sitting here watching/listening to it virtually raining in one corner of our current bedroom. Daughters bedroom is also affected. Builder seems to be saying not to worry, can’t believe the weather etc but surely this can’t be right?

We are having all rooms replastered and redecorated anyway but what if we weren’t?! The builders would surely have to correct the damage?

Any advice?!

Bump....

Yes we had water damage to ceilings in several rooms during loft conversion. We could have paid extra for a scaffold hat, over the roof, but didnt so I considered it to be our choice really. Tarps cannot be completely water tight. Very stressful all the same at the time, I couldnt sleep listening to the drip, drip, drip at night.

We ended up with various water stains but were able to cover them with stain blocker so not a biggie.

Thank you-helps to know we’re not the only ones!

Yeah I had snow inside at one point!

Very stressful having water ingress but to be expected after the forentiak storm rain of the last few days.

Water dripping i is a side effect of having the roof taken off, sorry.

If you want to pay for extra scaffolding to completely then that's your option, like this:

Note: other firms are available, this is the first one that came up on google.

Depending on the company your using, but yes builders would have the appropriate insurances to cover this, especially if it was down to their negligence

Great, thank you!!
