I have had my chimney pots lined recently and needed scaffolding to be
installed. Looking around up there I was horrified to find that the
gable roof where it meets the main roof the ridge tile was shattered
into pieces and the felt all exposed. Furthermore, the lead "saddle"
had been fitted underneath the ridge tile rather than over the top
which is totally out of keeping with the other roofs and just doesn't
make sense!

I had the leadwork redone around a chimney, and the guy (who seemed
to know what he's doing, and has done a very nice job) also lifted
off the end ridge tile to put the flashing underneath, so I presume
it's not incorrect. There are two layers of lead at that point.
