Hi
I've installed my own velux's with EDW flashing and mendip tiles, pitch is 17 ish.
After heavy rain yesterday, I found a single drop of water, on the velux frame, which had appeared to run down between the flashing upstand and the frame. No issues on the tiling and felting side, this is more like an issue with the flashing itself. When I throw half a bucket of water straight into the side flashing channel, it also comes through in the same place, like it's "overflowing" over the flashing upstand against the frame. I'm a bit baffled as cannot see how I've fitted the kit wrong, instructions are clear and I can't really see how you could get it wrong.
To be clear the issue is not water getting under my tiles, it's coming down the outside edge of the window frame. Any thoughts always appreciated!
pic attached of where the water's getting in ...........
Cheers
