    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!
