11a Sealing backing for aged teachers in charge, having got behind special lashings (9)

--e-l-a-s

Freeloads? Overloads? ....if so, why?

[janbee]

Could it be overlords?

[maurice]

No, the "a" is definite!

[bibblebub]

SHEDLOADS = lashings

sealing backing for aged = put old reversed, i.e. DLO inside...
teachers in charge = HEADS
having got behind special = put S first

s HE dlo ADS

Thanks, bibblebub, that sounds likely, also the "s" beginning fits with an answer for 4d.

Shedloads - exactly as bibblebub says
