Resolving water ingress through low underfloor air vents.
How do I make a gully type feature to prevent water entering my very low underfloor air vents? The builder suggested digging a trench, placing a brick fort around the two vents, then filling the trench with pebbles or dirt. He mentioned a membrane, only I can't remember which type. Please can you advise as water currently goes under the floor through the air vents. (Old Edwardian property). Thanks so much.

Ground floor extension leaking roof
We have a leak in our ground floor extension roof. It started with the paint cracking when it rained hard, but now it's got much worse and water is slowly dripping through the cracks that are growing. It's a flat roof and i can't see where it could be coming through. My question may be a silly one, but would i need a roofer or a specialist builder of some sort for this kind of work? We need to work out where the leak is coming from first, and then fix it!
