Leadwork And Flashings in Chatham , Medway

Lead is the gold standard for weatherproofing in the UK, provided it is installed by professionals who understand its unique properties. Lead is highly durable, flexible, and capable of expanding and contracting with temperature changes without cracking. If your roof flashings are beginning to split, slip, or if the mortar pointing around your chimney is crumbling, moisture will inevitably find its way inside. This is particularly common in the unpredictable weather we see across Kent. Our team ensures that your lead valleys and step flashings are correctly installed to guide rainwater safely away from your home, protecting your masonry and roof timbers from structural decay.

We take a disciplined approach to every job, strictly adhering to BS EN 12588 standards. By using traditional lead bossing and welding techniques, we ensure that every joint is seamless and structurally sound. Whether the job requires Code 4 flashings for a standard residential terrace or heavy-duty lead for a high-traffic valley gutter, we use materials selected for their longevity and performance. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of the current flashing condition, followed by precision cutting and expert installation. We also ensure that any mortar work or pointing is completed to a professional standard, creating a clean, aesthetic finish that complements your home's character.

Building regulations play a vital role in roof integrity, especially when working on chimney stacks or complex roof junctions.
