3. The lead coverings have been covered with rolled lead to BS EN 12588:2006
4. Due to the complexity of the roof and its varying panel sizing, careful use of varying thickness or codes of lead to comply with reccomendations have been used.

6. It is understood that a ventilated substrate has been provided on the existing roof structure to provide the required through ventilation required
7. Side flashings have been neatly clipped and pointed with Lead mastic
