The Vital Role of Lead Flashing in Protecting Your Sleaford Home
You might not often think about the lead flashing on your roof, but it’s an incredibly important part of keeping your home dry and safe, especially on the characterful properties we see across Sleaford. Essentially, lead flashing is that pliable, durable metal that seals critical junctions on your roof – places where different parts meet, like around your chimney, in the valleys where two roof sections join, or where an extension roof meets the main house wall. It’s what stops water from finding its way into those vulnerable spots. Without properly installed or maintained leadwork, your roof’s primary defence against the elements simply isn't complete. Over time, due to harsh weather, age, or even poor original installation, lead can fail, leading directly to leaks and damp inside your Sleaford property.

Spotting the Signs: Does Your Sleaford Roof Need Lead Flashing Attention?
Catching problems early with your lead flashing can save you a lot of hassle and expense down the line. Keep an eye out for tell-tale signs. The most obvious is water staining on your ceilings or walls, especially in rooms directly below a chimney or roof valley. Sometimes, you might notice your lead flashing looking cracked, ripped, or lifting away from the brickwork or tiles. You might also spot a white, powdery residue (called lead carbonate) around the lead, which indicates corrosion. Even subtle changes in how the lead looks – perhaps it seems brittle or has changed shape – can signal that it's no longer performing as it should. If you're seeing any of these issues on your Sleaford home, it’s definitely time to get a professional to take a look.

Who We Are
Expert Lead Flashing Replacement in Sleaford by Foster and Son
When it comes to replacing lead flashing, it's a job that demands real skill and precision. At Foster and Son Roofing Services, we approach every leadwork project with meticulous care. Our process involves carefully removing the old, compromised lead, often revealing the extent of any underlying water damage which we then address. We then precisely measure and cut new, high-quality lead, typically using Code 4, 5, or 6 lead depending on the specific application and area of your Sleaford roof. Our experts use traditional techniques like lead welding and 'bossing' – skilfully shaping the lead to fit snugly without cutting, ensuring a seamless, watertight finish that’s built to last for generations. We make sure the new lead is correctly fixed, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction, which is crucial for its longevity.
