I have a flat lead roof covering a bay window. This is single piece and brick jointed along a single straight 3 metre continuous run. I have just raked the whole thing out to cure a leak (That's where it was Phil L.). I've read on this NG about expansion contraction problems on long runs. I've raked it out good and deep and intend to PVA the joint before a standard sand & cement pointing session ensues. Anything else I should do to ensure longevity? I won't be going to the extremes/expense of removing or replacing the lead.
