Copper Chimney Flashing

[roofermarc1]

You didn't solder the joints?

Cowboy job, I know building methods are different in other parts of the world, but you should step the flashing into the brickwork joints.

@Cossiboy1986 your wrong...

[zarclark3]

terrible job, never cut through a brick. your suppose to have step flashing for this application. might want to learn some sheet metal before getting paid to mess up somebodies house.

[TheCrazyturnip]

Do you guys over there not use step flashing techniques?

Is copper used often on roofworks?

I am a roofer from London and copper is very expensive to buy here?

[pjfitzinc]

nice work!

[FlashingMaster1]

Looks very nice. Wonder if they use a

Stealth Flashing Brake?

I would only do this if the existing flashing was pitted or breaking a part, if everything is riveted and soldered and the joint where the flashing meets the brick is caulked with a high end caulk like NP-1 then there should be no problem.

@tinman1102 TRY CLEAR LEXEL CAULK SEALANT IT WORKS BETTER THAN NP-1. IT LAST LONGER THAN NP-1 WHEN IS EXPOSE TO UV-RAYS.

Looks good.

Its a good idea to cut a joint in the brick.

[shellbreak]

It's a terrible idea to cut a continuous diagonal line in a chimney! All your doing is creating a fault line for the chimney to crack on. C'mon now...

[ChrisW12208]

yep lazy mans flashing tsk tsk. It should be step flashed.

[emigrantgap]

@shellbreak fault line? seriously? take a video of one and post. i'd like to see some evidence. most brick is locked together with mortar via the hollows. most brick is nearly 4" thick, and water should never get in a well cut joint if sealed with a durable polyurethane/elastomeric. i have never see brick crack diagonaly, but i have sure repaired my share of "saw toothed" or zig zag cracks from failed step flashing in chimneys.
