Hello
My lovely ground floor bay window is leaking, its flat roof is lead, and it looks very tired, looking at neighbours windows they have either been replaced with lead (and looking damn fine) or felt. I think mine may be the original lead from 1900
Now question is, do I replace with lead? or not? I dont mind paying for lead but am concerned about thieves (although they havent thieved the current one) and the environment, but I do want a more period look than felt. Ultimately waterproofing it is the main priority tho. So as I'm new to DIY, would like to know what you would choose....
