Troubleshooting
Flashing does not fit snugly.
Verify that you are using 10mm thick roofing sheets. Ensure the rafter is level and square. Check for any debris obstructing the fit.
Water ingress at the roof edge.
Confirm the flashing is correctly seated on the rafter and the sheet. Check for any gaps and consider applying a suitable exterior-grade sealant along the junction if necessary. Ensure all fixings are secure.
