Leadwork And Flashings in Sevenoaks , Kent

Lead is the gold standard for weatherproofing due to its incredible durability and flexibility. However, it requires a skilled hand to install correctly. Whether it is chimney flashings that have cracked over time or lead valleys that have suffered from thermal expansion, incorrect installation can lead to persistent damp issues and structural decay. We use traditional lead bossing and welding techniques, adhering to BS EN 12588 standards to ensure your leadwork lasts for decades rather than just a few years.

Our service begins with a thorough inspection of your roofline to identify signs of corrosion, splitting, or inadequate pointing. We handle all aspects of lead installation, including bespoke chimney flashings, step flashings for steeper roofs, and high-performance lead valleys. Our process involves precision cutting and expert fitting, ensuring that every piece of lead is correctly secured and allowed to expand and contract with changing temperatures. We are equally comfortable working on traditional period properties in Sevenoaks that require heritage-sensitive care as we are on modern residential builds.

Working in an area like Sevenoaks often means navigating the requirements of conservation areas or period architecture. We ensure that all our leadwork complies with current UK building regulations, providing the necessary protection against interstitial condensation and thermal bridging. By using the correct lead code for each specific application, such as Code 4 for standard flashings or heavier grades for exposed valleys, we guarantee that our work meets both structural safety standards and local aesthetic expectations.
