Avril Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Can anyone tell me what the French use instead of lead flashing?We've got a slight leak aroung the chimney and need to fix it before winter.

Val_2 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 We use zinc and "nookies" I believe they are called in french. Basically metal plates folded up on one side that sit under the slates or tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val - the correct term is "noquets" which as you say are bent sections of zinc. I prefer to have my "Noquets" on the chimney, and save my "Nookies" forthe bedroom Best Regards,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
