I have had windows to my upstairs replaced, and i noticed the lead flashing which lies beneath these and onto the slates is cracked. Is it likley that this happened at the time of removal of old and installation of new, and how easy is it to repair? :?
 
It's not a difficult repair at all if you have some DIYish skills.

You can buy flashingband on a roll which can be used to cover the cracked portions. It has bitumen on the back which melts and forms a bond when you heat it gently with a blow torch.

The alternative would be to rake out the old a replace with new. But this is a slightly more involved job.
