Hi All,
doing some work in my garden and clearing an old log store from the roof or my stone built outhouses/sheds. There is a wall that rises above the roof line on three sides & about 6yrs ago was felted and then lead flashing was installed around the three sides of the roof and is held in place with what I think is lead wedges and cement.
the cement sealing around the flashing is failing at multiple points and the is actually causing a rather disturbing leak (at least for me) in one of my sheds.
I am currently trying to clad my brick wall (including 1 of the walls above my leaking shed) with wood as it looks terrible. I am confident that this would limit the amount of water getting to the lead flashing but would bot stop it all so want to get this fixed before I cladd over it.
i am sure someone on here (for some reason I think @27neth ) gave me some advice on this before but that was many moons ago and I cannot remember the thread.
as I said cement has been used in this previously but it does not seem to have lasted all that long. So what advice can anyone give me (I am about to youtube the crap out of this as well)? Is cement the best option here? I did see something about flashing sealant that was applied like Silicon or Caulk?
here are some pics to help;
thanks in advance.
