    Mastic bleeding out from under tiles

    We recently had tiled installed on a small outdoor patio. As you can see from the picture the adhesive is bleeding out on to the shed roof. Is there anything I can do to stop it? What can be used to clean it off of the flashing? Thanks in advance for any help you can share.

    This is really Poor setting out isn't it?

    Am I right in thinking this setting out is awful? He's also fitted plasterboard to the dry areas of the bathroom, I insisted in him putting Hardiebacker around the shower/bath and I tanked it. But we're not happy with it at all. The cuts are obviously bad. Thanks.
