measure it up and get it made up off-site.

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.

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.

Don’t suppose anyone can recommend someone in the n e Lincolnshire area who could do something like this?

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.

Would of probably been a bit far for him to travel anyway ?

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.

Did you pass them on to your kids.

"As my old dad used to say, ***** the lot of them".

"If them"? ?

 

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"...

I got funny looks when I changed, just one word, from life, to wife.
