Protecting Your Wisbech Home: The Vital Role of Lead Flashing
If you own a property in Wisbech, you’ll know firsthand how challenging our climate can be. From biting winds off the Fens to relentless rain, your roof takes a constant battering. While tiles and slates are the main shield, it’s often the unsung heroes like lead flashing that prevent water from sneaking into your home. Here at Foster and Son Roofing Services, we understand the critical role lead plays in keeping your property dry and secure. When this durable material starts to fail, it leaves your home vulnerable. That’s where our professional lead flashing replacement service comes in, offering Wisbech residents peace of mind and a watertight roof.
Why Choose Us?
Understanding Lead Flashing: Why This Traditional Material Matters for Your Roof
Lead flashing is a highly malleable, durable, and weather-resistant material used for centuries in roofing. Its main job is to create a watertight seal where different parts of your roof meet, or where the roof joins other structures like chimneys, dormer windows, or adjoining walls. You’ll find it as lead soakers between tiles, on stepped flashings around chimneys, or as apron flashings where a pitched roof meets a vertical surface. Over time, factors like extreme temperature fluctuations, poor original installation, or even theft can cause lead to crack, lift, or become damaged. When this happens, water finds its way in, leading to costly internal damage. Our team uses their deep experience to identify these issues and provide lasting leadwork repairs.

01775 660732Is Your Lead Flashing Failing? Signs to Look Out For
Spotting problems with your lead flashing early can save you significant repair costs down the line. As your local roofing experts in Wisbech, we encourage homeowners to keep an eye out for these common warning signs:
- Damp patches or water stains on internal walls or ceilings: Especially near chimneys, dormers, or where extensions join the main house. This is the most obvious sign of water ingress.
- Visible cracks or tears in the lead: From ground level, or using binoculars, you might see splits in the lead itself.
- Lifted or dislodged lead sections: Strong winds can peel back lead, leaving gaps.
- Missing lead: In some unfortunate cases, lead can be stolen, leaving large areas exposed.
- Rust or deterioration of adjacent materials: If the lead is failing, it might be allowing water to corrode surrounding brickwork or timber.
If you notice any of these, don't delay. Give us a call, and our friendly team will provide a professional assessment.
