Hi,

I've recently re-coated some old lead flashing in Evercryl as it had some small pin pricks and cracks in it. It seems to have done the job and to be fair its never leaked, it was mostly done to try and make it look neater. However it really hasn't and i'm left wondering if there is anything else I can do to neaten things up? I'm happy to get the flashing redone but i'm not sure if it would still look naff and if there are any other options?

Hopefully the attached pic should help explain what I mean!

thanks!
Dave

My neighbour installed some red tiles on top of the lead and they look very good.
He made them stick out by about an inch so the lead is only visible if you're very close.
Might be an option.

Ah that's not a bad idea. Stupid question but how would you stick tiles to such a small ledge of lead?

Thanks
 
I think he chased the render and sank them in as well as using roofing adhesive between lead and tiles.

might have to look into the tiling option.

is there any sort of pvc capping i could put over the lead maybe?
