Questions Answered

Lead Work & Flashings FAQs

Why is lead used on roofs?
Lead is durable, malleable and long-lasting, making it ideal for waterproofing joints around chimneys, valleys, abutments and dormers. Properly fitted leadwork can last for decades.
What causes flashing to fail?
Age, poor original installation, thermal movement and storm damage all cause flashing to lift, crack or pull away, letting water track into the roof and walls.
Do you use the correct code of lead?
Always. We use the appropriate code (thickness) of lead for each application to current standards, ensuring a lasting, professional finish.
Can cracked flashing be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Minor issues can sometimes be re-dressed or sealed, but failed flashing is usually best replaced with new code-rated lead for a permanent fix.
