Hello - Am building an extension with a lean to roof of 16 degress pitch and on the party wall side I need to build a parapet above the tile line. I plan to keep the parapet the same angle as the roof and wonder if anyone could give me some pointers in terms of the best recommended method of construction. Namely what would be the recommended height the parapet would need to go above the line roof tile . What is the best method of building the lead counter flashing into the parapet, is there a recommended way of capping the parapet wall and should I put a layer of DPC below the capping to stop any soakage down into the wall. All advice greatly appreciated.

Dpc below parapet and below capping.
Im not sure about height above roof line but mine ia about 6 inches @ a guess which is ample im sure.
Instead of using lead google "plygene rubberised guttering" by sharmanns...i used some last year for the same as what your doing and it worked out WAY cheaper and its not going to leak either.(and they posted it to ireland really quickly too)
