Hi everyone,

I noticed water dripping from the corner of my Velux roof window in my loft extension. I've read on this forum that water around Velux windows is common, but the leak might not be due to the window installation itself.

However, I found a tear in the Velux flashing. Does anyone have any ideas about what's causing this and what I should do next?

I've attached some pictures for reference.

Thanks, Vic

Velux make a kit for that type of installation, but unfortunately that is just a normal kit which has been painted over with fibre glass!
