Hello All,
Long story as short as I can. We have recently had our some poorly fitted lead flashing replaced which was installed during our neighbours dormer construction and was causing a roof leak.
The new lead flashing which has been installed looks be of of very good standard and along with the roof felt; It looks to me that it will to v very water tight , (our roof is 1930's with no felt) so there should be no issues about that unless you kind people think different!
My question is about the finish on our neighbours dormer cheek; they have had to use two sections of lead flashing which has been joined very roughly. To me it looks rather unsightly but obviously from a distance it's less noticeable. However it wasn't like this before and I am concerned that our neighbour won't like it. (we already have a dispute about the responsibility of the leak)
So could I kindly gather some thoughts on this please? Is it acceptable or should it really be covered by perhaps another sheet of lead to hide the join? I should also say that this area is behind our chimney stack so can't be seen from the ground level.
I've attached some pictures on how it looked before and after. (First 6 are after and last 3 are before)
Many thanks in advance.
Jacob
