    HI Folks

    I'm almost at my wits end with builders I have just noticed the top of the velux window and how it sits in and around the tiles (see photo)

    This looks very sloppy to me. Does anyone with experience of putting up attic windows have a view on this please?

    The window is also scuffed in several places which of course is not how it came in the box

    Thanks in advance

    That doesn’t look great. Is water getting in ?

    Thanks for replies. Really appreciate it

    There was a leak. That got me looking around it
    When i went to take the that second photo I noticed a 2 inch gash in the flashing.

    I had them on site and they have agreed it has to be fixed

    The tiles look like they were chipped with a hammer
    It is not one of those long flashings that goes right up so the whole top part needs to be done again.

    Half the roof is untiled so taking up the ridge tile and starting again with tiles isn't as big an issue as it might have been
