We have a bay window that juts out from the house and has some supports on the outside wall that it rests on, if that makes sense! I decided to give it all a lick of paint and when I looked on the underside there is a small gap all the way round it. Is this there for ventilation or can I seal it up?

The gap runs all the way along from left to right, not the best picture though!

if there was ever a leak at the flashing/bay-roof, causing rain water ingress you wouldn't know about it if you seal such a gap .. I'd keep it open.
