Hi can someone advise the possible sources of this leak.

After rain starts after about 30 mins I get a solid drip drip drip coming from the the interior roof of the doormer at the window edge, it drips down the inside of the window. Doesn't have to be driving rain either.

Occasionally if the rain is very heavy it drips from the downlight.

I don't understand where this water is coming from. We had some damp coming through the parapet to the wall, but that is sorted now (Acrypoled the parapet).

Is it possible that the water comes from the tiles 2 meters further up from the window? Some of them do not sit flat, and one just under the apex has a small chip. But I put my finger under those tiles today (rained yesterday) and I could not feel any wet. Could the water come all the way down from there, wouldn't it mark the ceiling?

Thanks for any advice.
