What code lead ?

[RickH]

Need to replace lead flashing over a bay window roof.
The roofer used a 2m single length of code 3 … and surprise surprise, it has split.
I know it needs to be in no longer than 1.5m lengths and suitable overlap. (150mm?)

Is code 4 suitable or does it need to be code 5

Code 4 is a good general use lead but Code 5 is thicker therefore better quality and more expensive. Check this link for more advice....

If it's just a flashing , 1.5 code 4 is ok . Code 5 is better ideally 1200 mm lengths . It doesn't cost much more but you get a more robust job
