Default velux "gutters"

seasonal at least!

3 large veluxes in line up the fairly shallow pitch of a roof.
"gutters" at sides of each velux (betwixt velux and rest of roof) clog
with leaves, beech nuts moss etc etc &, I suspect, lead to the drippy
leaks of various sorts within house in that area.

ring any bells with anyone? i am thinking what to do to the gutters on
a permanent basis?? some sort of mesh cover? lead flashing? any ideas
anyone?

TIA

Yes, especially the drippy leaks bit :-(

In my case they were my upstairs neighbour's veluxen and we just "got
a man in" to make the leaks go away (communal roof).
