Does a flat roof need lead flashing?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.08 PM
Does the flat roof of a kitchen extension need to be lead flashed into the adjoining main wall? Does it need to be lead or is Alco tape or an equivalent just as good?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Lead flashing is the most efficient material to use . Usually code 4 clipped at 450mm centres. Code 5 can be used if exposed to high winds .
