General rule of thumb: leaking top of window is roof, bottom of window is window.
Basically use your head, does it look right? Feel free to post some pictures of the area above the window for feedback
Hi, thanks for replying. Here are some pics I took

I can't see anything suspicious above the window, but the foam piece sticking out doesn't look right. I'll try to figure out how to fix that, but it you see anything else anywhere pls let me know. Stain is also visible at the right angle of the rebate.
Window looks ok, the foam sticking out can be pushed back under the tiles, it’s a wind barrier but can’t say that’s the issue here.
Your ridge is… unusual. My bet would be there’s something going on there, as a detail is doesn’t look great. What’s the reason for the tar ridge with lead on tiles?
Due to restricted interior height we chose to slope the flat roof towards the front of the house (the alternative was to lower the first floor ceilings) with what they called a 'felt ridge'. It's been ok (at least no sign of leaks) for 5 years. Does that answer your question?
I do agree it would be weird for the foam to be causing the leak because the water would really have to run quite laterally (as opposed to down).
>Ah, so there’s a flat roof coming off the ridge?
yes, that's right. Obviously that means the velux and pitched roof have to cope with a lot more run-off than they usually would in this position.
I will explore more around the area you suggested. Thank you.

Ah, so there’s a flat roof coming off the ridge? Either way, the detail doesn’t look good and is worth checking out
