[816swim]

I have to lift somes tiles, lay lead sheet lower down the roof i.e. down to the eaves and then join those tiles above the lead to the lead.

Absolutely no clue whatsoever going on the above description.

Whilst i understand your terminology i have no clue without context, specifics or a picture etc. Your description is vague and ambiguous and could apply to a trillion different scenarios.

Are you talking about extending down a roof from the eave's with a different pitch or tile.

 

[Alastairreid]

Sounds about right catlad.

 

[catlad]

Its just a guess I am still confused

 

[noseall]

Do you think we will ever get to know or do you think.....er....this is it?

Right, now I have worked out how to 'Post a Reply', here is the rest of the story.

I have to lay lead down the vertical brick wall of a dormer and then say a foot out over the pitched roof it adjoins, with that lead coming down level with the eaves.

My query is how do I lay a course of tiles back over the lead I will have layed coming down the pitched roof.

No doubt the tiles need only come over the lead for a couple of inches or so.

Are we talking some sort of mastic, or ?

By the way, I have had three so called professionals over the last 5 years try to solve my leak, and despite a shed load of money being handed to them they have singularly failed - hence I am out to see what an amateur can acheive !

Any help you can give - please stick with it !

Was going to ask if you can post a pic of this set up...but as it took 2 days to work out how to reply!

Never seen a brick dormer before.

We will be shooting in the dark without any pictures.

That`s @ the front of the dormer then you don`t cover the lead with tiles . Those 3 guys were sort of like the 3 wise men - they were all Travellers
