Hello,
I have installed a used timber lantern and need to put some lead on the ridge. It originally had a 0.7m length of very thin flashing moulded around the ridge where the timber apex and glass panels meet. I now need to replace the lead and am looking for a short length of suitable lead or an alternative. A thin easily moulded lead is needed or something similar. I'm worried about tapping lead around glass with a hammer, for obvious reasons. If it could be moulded and formed by hand would be better. Can anyone advise me on what to use and the best way to fit it? I had considered flashband, but would prefer a better and nicer looking solution.
