How to fill the gap between downpipe and sunroof

Hello all, I have got a sunroof built off my house. As there is a downpipe, the tradesman made a hole on the sunroof panel but the hole is larger than the pipe, which creates a small but not too small gap. It means there is leak when it rains which is not ideal. I wonder how I can fill the gap. I have thought about using clear sealant but the gap is not small enough to apply sealant. Is there anything I can buy from shop like Bunnings to cover and seal the gap in order to stop the leak. Hope the photo explains my situation. Thanks.26a23f80425d85d0b6e6518d30548b6a.jpeg

Re: How to fill the gap between downpipe and sunroof

Hello @lfen 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your sunroof. 

 

Generally speaking, when you have a cutout like this it is usually covered with a Deks 5 - 127mm Black Dektite Premium Roof Flashing. But because it is so close to the fascia, I'm not sure it will fit effectively. 

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
