I recently posted this question in another section of this forum. Was advised to post it here instead.
I have an old cottage with two velux windows in a utility room. One of the windows has showed damp on the lower right corner of the ceiling. The windows were already installed when we purchase the house 11 years ago. I do not know when they were installed. I will add that for years they have been fine, only in the last year or so has one been a problem. I went out on to the roof and shot the video, but unfortunately cannot upload that t this website. So I attach photos of some of the window. Plus I think you can see the possible problem. Down the RHS (looking from outside) there is quite a large void you can slip fingers into, this does not seem right ? I did manage to slide the tiles over toward the RH edge of the window a bit more. Perhaps a fill with some mortar might be the answer. Any advice would be much appreciated.
