bigmanols   10 #1 Posted January 17, 2013 Hello All  I am in the process of buying a house and there has been a water leak on the rear bay window, I think this is do to it needing refelting and / or reflashing. Anybody had this done or got an idea of how much it might cost to get this done? I'm not sure of the measurements of the bay but it's fairly small.  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Always get a tradesman out to quote before deciding. We only offer GRP so our prices are a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm not sure of the measurements of the bay but it's fairly small.  Cheers  It is possible the lead flashing has come away from the brickwork(or stone).It can be tapped back into the brick joints using a blunt instrument such as a piece of timber,and then repointed but I would not do anything in this cold spell.Any pointing will crack out with the frost/ice.

slater   10 #10 Posted January 20, 2013 If the lead flashing has popped out of the wall then its a small job, if the lead has split you will need code 4 lead, chase out brick joint, fit new lead, pined with lead wedges and fill joints with mastic, or if you have a problem with lead theft in your area you might want to use a lead substitute called Ubiflex  if it’s the flat roof GRP and EPDM are both quality flat roofing products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
