I can’t remember exactly. But to change the lead work alone it’s probably around £500.00. Then there’s the extra cost of scaffolding if that’s needed. And any tiling work. Thanks for watching.

Great work mate What situation do you use copper strip on edge as some of your vids you just dress down and cut lead without turn Thanks
@slbleadworks 9 күн бұрын
Thank you. I like to use a welted copper drip edge as much as I can. As I think it’s a nicer finish. But sometimes it’s not practical. As clients want to see minimal lead on the front edge. If the work is heigh I’ll always try and use the welted edge. As it also prevents wind lift. Thanks for watching.

Question. Does moisture ever appear under the lead? Not because of leak, but of the temperature difference.
@slbleadworks 10 күн бұрын
I think I’m right in saying it shouldn’t do. If moisture on the underside of the lead is appearing it could be because the lead has been laid in wet conditions and moisture is trapped underneath. Or from bad or no ventilation. But if I were you I’d google your question to confirm what I’m saying.
