Paul let me start again as I had just got up when I replied to your post. A chimney exiting through a sloping roof will have a back gutter .The back gutter will kick the water from the back (the highest point that the chimney exits the roof) to the sides and down the roof. In the Uk back...

Hi Paul The French love there mortar flashings and most flashings are mortar but I have seen one or two that have used Zink. The tiles or slates will always move and brake or dislodge the flashings, it tends to just break away from the abutment or chimney and leave a gap. This is where the...
