Dear customer

We have inspected the lead flashing on roof and it has split so we need to replace it.

We first got lead and made way to house were we assembled a mobile tower to get to they area were the lead has split.

Started to rip out existing lead and then cut it to size and left a lip to put back in place and put back strong in place.

Sealed up any gapes then finished of work and pack away (plus clearness).
