Leadwork & Lead Flashing
Lead has protected the vulnerable joints and junctions of roofs for centuries - chimney flashings, valleys, dormer cheeks, bay roofs and parapet details. When lead work splits, lifts or was installed poorly, it is one of the most common causes of roof leaks.
We carry out lead repairs and renewals in the correct codes and thicknesses for each application, fitted with proper detailing and ventilation - because lead that is laid wrong fails early.

- Chimney flashings and aprons

Why lead details fail
Lead expands and contracts with temperature. Flashings that are too long, too thin or incorrectly fixed crack over time, and mortar pointing washes out of chased joints. We size and fix lead correctly for each application so it can move as it should.

Frequently asked questions
- Can lead flashing be repaired or does it need replacing?
- Localised splits can sometimes be patched, but lead that has reached the end of its life is better renewed. We will assess and advise - a correctly renewed flashing is a one-time fix.
