Professional lead flashing repair and replacement service for chimneys, valleys, and roof junctions. Our skilled craftsmen restore weatherproof barriers, preventing leaks and protecting your property from water ingress and structural damage.
Lead flashing provides critical weatherproofing at roof junctions, chimneys, valleys, and penetrations. Failed or damaged flashing is a common cause of roof leaks that can lead to extensive interior damage. Our specialist lead flashing service repairs or replaces failed flashings using traditional leadworking skills and modern materials.
Lead flashing can fail due to corrosion, poor installation, thermal movement causing cracks, or mortar joint deterioration allowing water penetration. Chimney flashing is particularly vulnerable where stepped and cover flashings meet brickwork. Valley flashings can develop holes from weathering, while parapet and abutment flashings may lift or separate from walls.
Our trained leadworkers fabricate and install flashing using code 4 or code 5 lead as appropriate for the application. We create proper laps and joints, dress lead correctly to profiles, and secure flashings appropriately using lead wedges, clips, or fixings as required. For chimney flashing, we cut out old mortar, install new stepped and cover flashings, and repoint joints using correct materials.
Where appropriate, we can install modern alternatives to lead including zinc, aluminum, or GRP flashings. These materials offer good performance and longevity while being more affordable than lead and less susceptible to theft. We advise on the best solution for your situation and budget.
All flashing work is installed to weatherproof standards, ensuring water is directed away from vulnerable junctions. We test repairs where possible and guarantee our workmanship for complete peace of mind.
