Google ReviewsUnderstanding Lead Work's Role on Your Roof
What exactly is lead work in roofing? It mainly refers to the sheets or sections of lead used to seal and weatherproof the intersections and edges on your roof. You'll typically find it where a roof meets a wall, around chimney stacks (chimney flashing), in roof valleys where two slopes meet, or around skylights and vents. Its flexibility allows it to be shaped perfectly to these complex areas, creating a durable seal against rain and wind.
Our Rochford Lead Work Repair and Installation Services
Whether you need urgent repairs to existing lead flashing that's failed or require brand new lead work for an extension, chimney, or complete re-roof, our team can help. We handle everything from small patch repairs to replacing entire sections of lead valleys or aprons. We assess the specific job required, ensuring the correct code of lead and fixing techniques are used for a long-lasting, professional result on your Rochford property.
Signs Your Roof Lead May Need Attention
Unmatched Reliability and Speed
How do you know if your lead work needs repair or replacement? Look out for visible cracks, splits, or lifting edges in the lead flashing. Water staining on ceilings or walls, particularly near chimneys or where extensions join the main house, can often point to failing lead. Sometimes the lead fixings might loosen over time, compromising the seal. Catching these issues early can prevent more costly water damage repairs down the line.
