Unhappy

When rain is blown against the flashing between my house and the single story extension (pitched roof ) so much water leaks through that I can not risk plastering the inside wall. I have tried to seal the top of the soakers and the flashing with bitumin but if anything, the problem is worse. How may I fix this please ?

It sounds like the leading edge of the flashing has direct exposure to the rain. It is meant to be concealed under something else to keep the water out.

It is a mistake to try to flat seal it against something else.
