Leaking garage

Posts: 62 Forumite


Hi,
This is not a post about whether a quote is fair or not but rather who I should engage to resolve my problem.
We have a garage attached to our property & whenever it rains for a long period (obviously hasn't been for a while!!!), we get a water start to make its way into the garage. There doesn't appear to be any specific/single leak but rather the water seems to be coming directly through the bricks/damp proofing.
I had tried painting with about 5 coats of gradually stronger unibond earlier in the year but still the water appeared.
There is no access to the side of the garage where the water appears to be coming from.
Do I need to employ the services of a builder or a more specialist company to deal with this sort of thing?
Has anyone come across anything similar.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart
