Lead work on slate roof around new wood stove flue, is it right?

[Hereandnow]

Hello everyone

 

First post - Thanks for having me on the forum  I've had a wood stove installed and wondered if anyone can let me know if it has been done right where the flue comes out of the roof? Looking at other photos on the net at slate roofs they look different. I've taken some photos. The lead is on top of the slates and sealed with mastic, except at the top where it is under the slates and sealed with mastic.

 

Cheers for the help

No it’s not right, it’s a quick fix to an awkward situation. 
if they are a professional company who charged you the correct money to fit this, then they should have employed a roofing company to do it correctly.

No It’s rubbish 

The flashing  should be at least a third covered with slate The sealant won’t last

Should look like this.

Thank you all for responding and for your help

slates look very old and fragile#

exect some to break if they come back and do it as suggested

maybe thats why they did it that way to save you the expense 

who knows how far back they would have to go once they start removing slates ?

couldd maybe end pu with a complete reslate 

there are cerainly adhesives that could be used under the lead ,once you clean the slates that would work

Hi @scottishjohn

 

Thank you for your input.  

 

I see what you are saying based on how they look, but actually that's mainly down to moss and lichen, looking especially dry and crispy with this current weather.  I cleaned the other side of the roof last year but have not got round to doing the side with the flue.  Attached is a photo showing how that looked after a clean...

Call them back it’s not correct 

tell them to get a roofer to do it correctly, or you will and invoice them for the job to be put right. 
they should be hetas registered to carry out a correct flu install.
