Flashings & Trims

Flashings are priced on girth — the total width of the flat sheet before it is folded. Lay a tape along the finished shape, adding up each face in turn, and that total is the girth. Then note the angle between the faces and the overall length you need.

A quick sketch with the face dimensions and angles on it is all we need to quote and make it.

Yes. Flashings are folded to order, so if the shape you need is not a standard one, send a sketch with the girth breakdown, the angles, the length and the colour, and we will make it. Awkward junctions, existing buildings and anything that has to meet something that is not square are exactly what this is for.

Three metres is the usual working length — long enough to cover ground quickly, short enough to handle on a roof without kinking it. Lap the joints by about 100mm in the direction water is travelling, and seal and rivet the lap rather than relying on the fixings alone.

Yes, and you should — they are folded from the same coated coil, so a matching colour and finish will weather at the same rate. Tell us the colour and finish of the sheets you are ordering and we will match them.
