Easy-Trim Textured Lead Flashing 450mm x 5m Roll – Grey
Achieve the classic look of traditional lead with superior flexibility using the Easy-Trim Textured Lead Flashing. This self-adhesive, high-performance flashing is the perfect, secure alternative to conventional lead, specifically designed for complex roofing details and profiles.
Its unique textured (or 'corrugated') surface is engineered to be exceptionally malleable, allowing it to be easily formed and moulded around skylight corners, abutments, and over profiled tiles with minimal effort. This ensures a flawless, permanent, 100% watertight seal for your skylight installation, with zero theft risk.

Ensure you have everything you need for a professional, watertight installation.
Silicone Sealant: For sealing any small gaps and finishing the edges.
Easy-Trim Seam Roller: (Highly Recommended) A hard-wearing roller used to apply firm, even pressure to the self-adhesive flashing, which is essential to create a permanent, waterproof bond.
Easy-Trim Primer: For use on very porous or dusty surfaces (like aged concrete or brickwork) to guarantee maximum adhesion.

🛠️ Pro-Tips for a Perfect Flashing Installation
Preparation is Everything: The surface must be clean, arid, and free from all dust, grease, and loose debris.
Measure Twice, Cut Once: Cut the flashing to size using a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors, accounting for any overlaps.
Peel & Stick: Peel back the liner as you press the flashing firmly onto the surface, working from the centre outwards to push out any trapped air.
Pressure is Essential: Use a Seam Roller to apply firm pressure over the entire surface. This is critical to activate the adhesive and create a permanent bond fully.
Create Overlaps: If joining two pieces, overlap them by at least 75mm, ensuring water flows over the seam, not into it.
Mould to Shape: Use your hands to press and mould the textured flashing into the profiles of your roof tiles for a perfect fit.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I use this lead-free flashing instead of traditional lead?
A: Our Easy-Trim flashing has zero scrap value, so it is not a target for thieves. It is also non-toxic, much lighter, and significantly faster and safer to install (peel-and-stick) with no specialist tools required.

A: Ensure the surface is clean and dry, cut the flashing to size, peel off the backing, and press it firmly into place. Use a seam roller to apply firm pressure to ensure a permanent bond.
Q: What surfaces will this flashing stick to?
A: The high-tack butyl adhesive provides a permanent bond to all standard roofing and building materials, including timber, brickwork, concrete, roof tiles (all types), slates, metal, and most plastics.
Q: Do I need to use a primer?
A: For most clean surfaces, no primer is needed. However, if you are applying to a very porous or dusty surface (such as aged concrete), using a compatible primer first can improve adhesion.
