I'm not sure properly designed and executed leadwork will need any

I mean to insert into the brickwork. Obviously, you may also use mortar,
but sealant is easier!


Right. However, if doing stepped flashing, you're likely to have to patch
surrounding pointing also. How well does lead sealant match this?
Otherwise, it seems you'll still have to knock up some mortar anyway?
