• For heavier-duty flashings, chimneys, valleys, gutters, flat roofing or parapet work, a higher code such as Code 4 or Code 5 may be more suitable.
• Lead sheet should be installed in accordance with recognised leadwork guidance, including correct laps, fixings and allowance for thermal movement.
• Patination oil is usually recommended after installation to help reduce staining.
