Lead finishing - roof

[Redoctober]

Hi - As you can see from the attached photos, the builders are currently finishing off the stone work above the single storey roof. Is the lead finishing acceptable?

The only reason I ask is in my naive thinking, I am concerned that the rain may get in between the stone work and lead, which in turn may cause long term issues. Am I worrying unnecessarily?

There is an overhang similar to that on the gable end of the single storey roof.

That looks totally wrong to me. The lead should go on before the stone. They look to have put the lead over the face of the stone, and water will run into that gap.

 

That is the way you do it if you are then going to cover it with render.

Looks wrong to me. I'd have expected the lead to go into a slot.

Should be a lead tray built in as they went up. 

Or you run a Saw up and push the lead into the cut. Then seal it up.

What's there won't do jack to stop any rain running down the wall to the room below. Don't accept a slap of silicone or lead mate to patch it in.

Many thanks. I will mention this tomorrow - it's the old adage " if something doesn't look right, it probably isn't" Cheers.

Are these soakers that go under the slates, with a lead flashing that gets cut into the stone and dresses down over these?  If so, it is probably OK.

They’re only the soakers ar each course of slate. Lead cover flashing (longer length, approx 1~1.5m) still needs fixing, chased into wall.

They also look like soakers to me as well, so another piece of lead needed cut into the face of the stone and dressed down over the soakers, 

groove in wall should be 150mm up from roof finish to allow for rain bounce. 

Should you not have a cavity tray in that location and weep holes??

 Thanks @Russell Griffiths - there is what I believe is a weep hole in the second image down on the second course of stone up from the bottom. These are located throughout the stone so I happy with that, if indeed they are weep holes! ?
