Full Structural Survey

I paid good money for a Full Structural Building Survey and have now discovered rain water entering the loft space via the lead flashing at the chimneys. Water is running down one rafter and is spongy to touch. The problem must have been there for some time.
The Surveyor gave a clean bill of health.
Do I have redress with the Surveyor and if so how do I proceed?

I remember a court case which referred to the "Head and Shoulders" inspection of a loft.
It requred that a surveyor must get his head and shoulders into a loft to inspect it.
It did not require him to go into the loft.
However the law may be different in respect of a Full Structural Survey................................I have put my clock back....... Kcolc ym0
