Understanding Lead Flashing: Why It's Key to a Watertight Roof
So, what exactly is lead flashing? Simply put, it’s a vital weatherproofing material used where your roof meets a wall, a chimney, a skylight, or any other vertical surface. It's flexible, durable, and when fitted correctly, it forms a seamless, watertight seal, directing rainwater away from vulnerable junctions. Without effective leadwork, even the best tiles or slates won't stop water from getting in. Over time, however, lead can degrade, crack, lift, or corrode. Harsh weather, poor initial installation, or even just the natural expansion and contraction of materials can cause it to fail, turning a small crack into a big problem for your home. We're seasoned in identifying these subtle signs of wear and tear before they escalate.

Who We Are
Common Signs You Need Lead Flashing Repairs or Replacement
You don't need to be a roofing expert to spot the warning signs that your lead flashing might be in trouble. Keep an eye out for damp patches on your ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys, dormer windows, or where extensions join the main house. You might also notice peeling paint, bubbling plaster, or a musty smell indoors. Outside, visible cracks, tears, or lifts in the lead itself are clear indicators. Sometimes, the lead might just look discoloured or be heavily stained, suggesting it's not performing as it should. Don't put off getting these issues looked at; a small leak can quickly lead to extensive, costly damage to your roof timbers, ceilings, and insulation. We're known for our prompt, friendly service when you need repairs.
