Lead flashing profiled tiles!?

[matt204]

Hello all, I am just flashing the lean-to pitched roof on the extension I have just built. The problem I have is that I need to install lead flashing where the roof meets the wall of the house. However, as this is a flat surface and the roof is not, this poses quite a challenge. I have been looking at my brothers extension which uses a very similar tile to ours and it looks very neat. I am using Redland Grovebury tiles.

I am thinking that it might make things easier if I cut the lead to something like 750mm lengths rather than 1500mm. I am using code 4 lead. I have been told that I should have gone for code 5 as it is easier to shape. I have also been told that I could apply heat to the lead to make it more easier to shape.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, you should have no problem using code 4 lead for your flashing, getting it to look as neat as your brothers might be lol.
If you look at the following link it should tell you enough of what you need to know.
