The service

## Lead has protected roofs for hundreds of years
Lead has been used on roofs for hundreds of years because it lasts and copes well with the weather. Fitted properly, it keeps water out of the parts of your roof most likely to leak, and gives a neat, traditional finish.

We install and repair lead valleys, chimney flashings, aprons and step flashings, replacing worn or damaged leadwork and putting right previous repairs that relied on sealant or tape rather than a proper, lasting solution.

### Leaks around a chimney
Usually a sign the flashing has cracked or come away.

### Worn or split valleys
Replaced in new lead so water runs off freely.

### Extensions and dormers
Step flashings and aprons where the roof meets a wall.

What happens if it waits

## Most roof leaks start at the flashing or the valley
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof slope, it relies on lead to keep the water out. When the lead cracks or lifts, water gets straight in.

### Problems we often see

- Sealant or flashing tape used instead of lead.
- Lead pieces that are too long, so they split as they expand and contract.
- Flashings not tucked properly into the brickwork.

In detail

## Our leadwork services
The lead details we fit most often.

### Lead valleys
The valley is where two roof slopes meet. We replace worn or split valleys with new lead so rainwater runs off freely.

### Chimney flashings and aprons
Front aprons, step flashings and back gutters around chimneys, fitted to keep water out where the stack meets the roof.

### Step flashings
Where a roof meets a wall, on extensions, dormers and porches, step flashings are fitted into the brickwork.
