Yes like this, have it all folded up neatly then take it to get it welded. If it’s too much agro to get somebody out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James94 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 @Russell griffiths Step flashing, a bit of YouTube you can do most things. But can’t seem to see how this lead will go from sob to tiles and stay waterproof. we have 3 trims one at195 which Buts against wall and one is a 150mm flashing to cover the at195 and there will be a f300 which will sit on sob and hop roof under felt.

Onoff Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) I worked with a chap on site in London in the late 80s. He was welding lead covers for us on equipment plinths on the roofs. Bloke was mustard. I asked for his contact details and he just said "Ted The Lead, everyone knows me!" By now I'm guessing Ted The Lead...is dead.

James94 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Would of probably been a bit far for him to travel anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Some decades ago my dad managed to solder some lead sheet himself but I remember it being a difficult job. At least I learnt new swear words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked as an apprentice with a Greek electrician so picked up, as an innocent, green 16 year old some of his sayings. It was some years later on other sites I used to get questioning looks when I uttered the phrase "F*** my elbows!" The slow realisation that it was in fact "boots". A Russian I work with now is pretty comical when he sings along to that famous Rihanna song "Cameroon Boy"...
