Default Lead flashing vs. plastic bonding

Thanks for the link. I have a fair idea what I need to do now but it's
raised some more questions.

How long is this likely to take? Given that the roof is about 3
meters will I get it done in one day (7 hours)?


When I did my flat roof (many years ago), me and a mate did the whole
width of the house in less than a morning. This involved angle grinding
a few cm. of motar from between 2 rows of bricks, folding/inserting the
lead flashing (with folded bits to keep it in, as mentioned) then using
a quick-set mortar to fix it in place.
If it's easy to get access and the weather is OK, I'd guess 1 person
could do 3 metres in well less than a day ...
unless you're getting paid by the hour :-)
