Dormer cheek to thin pitch at gable and bottom

Featured Replies

Hello all, 

My Double full width Dormer will only have one row of tiles down the sides and one row of tiles along the ridge and the bottom into the guttering.. My question is about lead flashing and soakers

 

I've got weatherboard cladding to fit over the Dormer, the membrane I was planning to take across in one piece. 

 

My brain says I need lead flashing and soakers, but it will be covering 1/3 of the tiles, and I've seen so many pictures online of cladding going down to the tile and no visible lead. 

 

Any ideas, suggestions on something that won't look too horrible, expensive or difficult to fit? 

 

(for reference, they will be concrete square tiles, double grooved. I've got a dry verge kit and dry ridge kit) 

If you put lead soakers in you won’t be able to see the lead once the cladding is on
