Our Sticky lead has come unstuck from the Plastic Fascia a few times now, we know when it has, as it lets water into the conservatory when it rains, I've been up and pushed it back onto the Fascia.

Can anyone recommend a remedy for this, ie is there a "Sticky lead glue", or if no remedy, what action to take?

TIA

PS The Roof and Sticky lead are a couple of months old & the Plastic Fascia was washed and dried before applying the Sticky Lead
 
Two months old? You didn't heat it up then when sticking the non-sticky lead?

By some Flashband Primer or use some bituminous mastic/Roofers Mate/Roofers Seal from a tube.
 
Thanks for the reply Woody

Sisters boyfriend did the Job, I helped & no, he didn't apply any heat.

Am I right in that apply the Flashband primer where it isn't sticking (like a glue) and push it back into place?

Have a read of the instructions, I can't remember if its like contact adhesive where you let it tack for a while or if it sticks straight away. In any case you still may need a bit of heat at this time of year. Hot air gun if you can as its safer and less chance of it melting the flashband
