    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.
