zaffy

I have just tried to cut through lead with Stanley knife but having trouble. Blade just seems to score it but does not cut it. Also difficult holding straight edge steady while cutting. I will have another go tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks, I'll give it a try first. It has been put up badly and one end is lower than the other. I will try cutting it level too. I have patination oil. Just need to buy a green scouring pad.

The old lead flashing under my dormer windows works fine but does not look good. The lead runs under the dormer window and then disappears under roof tiles at either end. Will it be okay to lay new lead over the top of the old lead to make it look better? Thank you
