Apply the oil to all newly installed lead items - large or small. Apply the oil before any rain and at the end of the day’s work. One coat is all that is needed. Lift flashings and coat the underside of the lead for about 50mm from the edge. Coat the lead before turning up clips around the edges. Remember to coat between laps.

- Remove mortar. When fitting flashing where a flashing product hasn’t previously been installed, the mortar will generally need to be removed from brickwork – particularly when installing flashing between a wall and a roof, above windows and doors, and other situations involving brickwork.
- Measurements. Measure the distance from the chase depth (the amount of lead that goes into the brickwork), the distance from the chase to the join in the roof, and then the distance from the join across the roof covering or the second surface.
- Cut lead to size. Now cut a piece of milled lead to around 1.2m long, with the measured distance as the width of the lead. Any longer than 1.2 metres long and the lead will be harder to shape and more likely to split over time.
- Shape the lead flashing. To fit the lead flashing onto the roof, lead dressing tools can be used. A lead dresser is used to smooth out any wrinkles or folds within the lead sheet, bossing mallets and lead chase wedges are used to drive the lead sheet into the desired shape, ensuring it fits right into the brickwork and corners, lead bending tools are used to bend the sheeting into the right shape, and lead bossing tools are used to shape corners and work the lead around any structures.
