lead under dormer

Recommended Posts

The old lead flashing under my dormer windows works fine but does not look good.  The lead runs under the dormer window and then disappears under roof tiles at either end.  Will it be okay to lay new lead over the top of the old lead to make it look better?  Thank you

I have just tried to cut through lead with Stanley knife but having trouble.  Blade just seems to score it but does not cut it.  Also difficult holding straight edge steady while cutting.  I will have another go tomorrow. Thanks

I have never found lead easy to cut, many scores will eventually do it, but In situ even harder. My ideal DIY tool would be another pair of hands!.

 

It sounds stupid but lick your fingers and wet the blade, works well
