Tiling around velux windows untidy

[Stevemac123]

I am currently having an extension, the roof pitch is 15 degrees, the tile used is a low profile tile guaranteed to 10degrees, the velux has had the correct flashing kit guaranteed to 15 degrees.

The tiles have significant kick up and it looks untidy and im worried about leaks.

Builder advises it will settle down on foam, and has said he could fit low profile flashing but this is only for 20 degree roof.

Is there a better tile or does it need tidying more around the velux.

Hope this makes sense. Pics attached.

Half a caring hour it'll look better .. it's not the tile

I doubt those tiles go down to 10 degee's

Look like 20/20s 15 degrees @ 100mm hl

The best of it is and what most folk don't realise is, it all starts (avoiding kick) with the bottom tiles.

As said, a clever bit of grinding and sympathetic lead dressing, goes a long way. Impossible to avoid completely though.

I think you will find special guidance if going down to 15 degrees
with penetrations ie. skylights.

I know little about roofing, but why are the tiles different lengths?

They are all the same .. the tiles aren't fitted correctly at that point
