Hello
I have a 4.5m run of new lead flashing on a new extension to complete.
The flashing will abut a parapet wall and will be going directly under the coping stone at the top of the parapet. As such there wil be no lead wedges as i was planning on bedding 25mm of the lead into mortar under the coping stone. I am worried though that when I start dressing it over the tiles (marley double romans) that it wil just pull out of the mortar/weaken the mortar.
am I worrying too much or are there any tips that anyone can offer to help when I dress the lead?
Thanking you
