Rooflight velux window leak problem

Posted by Hilary Tompsett, on
Is it normal for Velux windows to develop leaks in the corner? Could it be the sealing on the roof? Nothing is obviously broken or damaged. Can anything be done and would replacing the velux solve it?

Hi Hilary no it is not normal to develop leaks around the window. It maybe down to the flashing kit being incorrectly fitted or water getting behind the tiles and running down the felt and coming through where the felt is cut out for the window, that is why the felt should be turned over to form a channel where it is cut out.
