I have a wooden framed bay window installed on top of a timber frame. The window is going to be replaced with a pvc window. Could someone please advise me what is the best method/material to use for flashing between the underside of the new window sill and the top of the wooden frame?

Thanks

The bay window is rectangular - the left and right side windows are at right angles to the front window.
Is there a way to make right angles in the lead flashing to go round the corners without using separate strips of lead or cutting the lead?

The maximum length of any flashing in lead should be 1.5m. If made longer than this then there is a possibility of the lead breaking over time when it expands and contracts. Depending on the size of the windows you have I would imagine that you will need to split the lead up anyway due to the above.
