Seal Your Roof Properly with Skilled Leadwork and Flashings Repairs
Lead flashing is one of the most important elements in keeping your roof watertight. Found around chimneys, dormers, valleys, and junctions, flashing protects the vulnerable joins where water could otherwise penetrate. When flashing becomes cracked, split, or improperly sealed, even a small gap can lead to major water damage.
Our leadwork services are designed to keep your roof protected from the elements — and carried out by a skilled roofer who takes the time to do it properly. From localised repairs to full flashing replacements, you can count on us for a durable, high-quality finish.
Our Leadwork and Flashing Services Include:
- New lead flashing installations for chimneys, valleys, and abutments
- Replacement of damaged or perished flashing
- Step and cover flashing repairs for pitched roofs
- Lead soakers for slate and tiled roof junctions
- Chimney flashing and apron sealing
- Leadwork for roof valleys, skylights and dormer windows
- Soldered joints and rolled lead detailing
- Flashband removal and proper lead alternatives
- Minor lead patching or full strip-and-replace service
- Integration with new roof or re-roofing projects
We also inspect adjoining roofing materials to ensure no related issues are missed and provide advice on long-term maintenance.
