Lead Flashing

[pp2023]

Hi,

Had some flashing replaced, does this look like a good job? Thought the flashing should follow the tile contours all the way but it's only partially done.

Thanks,

Doesn't have to. The main function of profiling it thus is to stop wind getting under it and lifting it or driving rain under it and that doesn't need a top to bottom profile. Further, shaping it that much will stretch and thin it considerably.. if it's the correct code it'll cope with it, but why stress it thus unnecessarily..

The only part I'm curious about is the apparent decision to stick the individual sheets together at the overlaps.

How long has it been installed? Has it seen any rain yet?
