Protect Your Home with Professional Lead Flashing Repairs

Lead flashing is one of the most important components of your roof. Installed around chimneys, roof junctions, valleys, dormer windows and abutments, it creates a durable, watertight seal that protects your home from leaks and costly structural damage.

Whether your flashing has cracked with age, lifted during high winds or was poorly installed by a previous contractor, our experienced roofers can restore your roof using traditional leadworking techniques and premium-quality materials.

LEAD FLASHING REPAIRS

What Is Lead Flashing?

Lead flashing is a flexible weatherproof material used wherever different parts of a roof meet. It is commonly installed around:

  • Chimney stacks
  • Roof valleys
  • Roof-to-wall abutments
  • Dormer windows
  • Parapet walls
  • Velux roof windows
  • Flat roof upstands

Correctly installed lead flashing allows natural movement within the roof while preventing rainwater from penetrating the building.

Quality lead flashing can often last 50 years or more, making it one of the most durable roofing materials available.

Signs Your Lead Flashing Needs Repair

If you notice any of the following, your flashing may need professional attention:

  • Water stains on ceilings
  • Damp around chimney breasts
  • Roof leaks during heavy rain
  • Loose or lifted flashing
  • Split or cracked lead
  • Missing mortar around flashing
  • Moss or vegetation around roof junctions
  • Damp in loft spaces

Ignoring damaged flashing often leads to timber decay, insulation damage and expensive internal repairs.

Lead Flashing Repairs

We repair damaged flashing by removing failed sections, replacing worn lead and ensuring every joint is correctly dressed and sealed for long-term weather protection.


Chimney Flashing Repairs

Chimneys are one of the most common sources of roof leaks. We replace damaged apron flashing, step flashing and back gutters to create a secure watertight seal.


Roof Valleys

Lead valleys carry large volumes of rainwater away from your roof. We repair and replace damaged valley leadwork before leaks develop.


Roof Junctions & Abutments

Where roofs meet walls, movement over time can cause flashing to crack or lift. We carefully remove failed leadwork and install new Code 4 or Code 5 lead where appropriate.


Dormer Window Flashing

Dormers contain multiple junctions where water can penetrate if flashing fails. We replace worn lead flashing to protect your property and preserve the appearance of your roof.


Velux Window Flashing

Poorly installed or ageing roof window flashing often causes leaks around the window frame. We repair or replace flashing systems to restore full weather protection.


Heritage Leadwork

Older and listed buildings require specialist leadworking techniques. Our experienced roofers repair and replace traditional lead flashing while maintaining the character of period properties.


Lead Gulley

Lead gullies channel rainwater away from your roof to prevent leaks and water damage. We repair and replace damaged lead gullies across Bedford, Milton Keynes and Luton using durable, professional leadwork built to last.

Lead flashing repairs

Why Professional Leadwork Matters

Lead expands and contracts naturally as temperatures change. If flashing is cut incorrectly, fixed too tightly or chased into brickwork improperly, it can crack, split or pull away from the wall.

Our roofers install leadwork using recognised industry methods that allow for movement while maintaining a watertight seal. This helps maximise the lifespan of your roof and significantly reduces the likelihood of future leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many damaged lead flashings can be repaired without replacing the entire section, provided the lead has not deteriorated beyond repair.

Professionally installed lead flashing typically lasts between 50 and 100 years, depending on the location and exposure to weather.

The most common causes include age, poor installation, storm damage, thermal movement and deteriorating mortar joints.

Minor damage can often be repaired. If the flashing has split extensively, become heavily corroded or was installed incorrectly, replacement is usually the better long-term solution.

Costs vary depending on accessibility, scaffolding requirements and the amount of leadwork required. We provide free roof assessments and transparent quotations with no obligation.
