Correct lead flashing?


Recommended Posts

Just asking as I can't seem to find any videos on this topic. Fitted metal copings to flat roof parapet. Where the coppings meet the wall I chose to finish it with lead. Is this the correct way to dress the lead to this corner by cutting a small triangle at the top where the chasing is where the corner is just so I can fold the lead and sit it in the chasing, then cut across horizontally.

 

Not a roofer or lead worker

Looks good, a lot better than some of the so called professional jobs posted here, but a couple concerns.

 

That inner angle point at the seam, I think the lead will eventually split along that point. Think I see a crack already.

At the same area, you'd want another piece of lead under to fully cover the flat roof piece right back to where you have chased in the main peice, again, to reinforce that vulnerable inner angle bend.

Finally, the vertical bit that's bent down over the edge of the roof is a bit short and there's a risk that lift up. Easily solved with some stixall.
