Lead Flashing Repairs
Lead Flashing Repairs to Stop Leaks and Protect Your Roof
At DB Roofing and Building Maintenance, we provide professional lead flashing repairs across Whitley Bay and the surrounding areas. Damaged or poorly installed flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks — especially around chimneys, roof valleys, and wall junctions. We offer expert flashing repairs that restore watertight protection and blend in seamlessly with your existing roof. All work is backed by our trusted 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Why Flashing Repairs Are So Important
Lead flashing is used to seal the joints between your roof and adjoining structures, such as walls, chimneys, dormers and roof valleys. When it becomes cracked, lifted, or corroded, it allows water to penetrate beneath tiles or felt — leading to leaks, damp patches, and even timber damage in the roof space.
Our team inspects your flashing, identifies the cause of failure, and carries out clean, effective repairs using durable leadwork methods that last.
Our Lead Flashing Repair Services Include:
- Re-seating or re-bedding loose lead flashing
- Replacing cracked, split or perished lead sections
- Step flashing repairs for chimneys and wall abutments
- Repairing lead around roof valleys or dormer windows
- Chimney apron and back gutter flashing replacement
- Lead soaker installation on pitched and slate roofs
- Lead sealing and soldered joints where required
- Integration with felt, tile or flat roof systems
- Optional lead alternative installations (if specified)
We use high-quality Code 4 or Code 5 lead sheeting as standard for durability, and we always match the repair to the surrounding roof style.
