I checked the FAQ, and was surprised there seems to be no roofing
section ...

For the joint between a flat garage roof, and the upstand to the house
wall continuing above, what are the pros and cons of real lead flashing
v.s. the heavy duty self adhesive tape with a coat of primer on the wall?

Lead lasts forever but is expensive, the other stuff is cheap but weak,
splits and comes unstuck.


To what depth should the pointing be raked out for the top edge of the
flashing/tape?

I've just redone the pointing and flashing on my chimneys and raked to 15mm
where the flashing is, which is about the original depth, but deeper the
better I guess.
