Leadwork And Flashings in West Malling , Kent

Effective leadwork is not just about placing a sheet of lead; it requires precise technical skill. We follow a strict process starting with a thorough inspection of your chimney flashings, valleys, and abutments to identify signs of corrosion or cracked mortar. Our experts use traditional lead bossing and welding techniques, which allow the material to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes without splitting. By adhering to BS EN 12588 standards, we ensure that every piece of lead is correctly shaped and securely fixed to prevent leaks from developing in vulnerable junctions.

Attempting to seal a leaking chimney or valley with makeshift fillers often leads to long-term structural decay. Professional lead flashing provides a durable, long-lasting barrier that, when installed correctly, can last for decades. Our approach eliminates the risk of interstitial condensation and stops water from seeping into your timber rafters and brickwork. Whether you need precise step flashings or heavy-duty lead valleys, our installations offer superior weatherproofing and complete peace of mind, adding significant value to your property.

All of our roofing work in Kent is carried out in strict accordance with current UK building regulations. Leadwork is a critical component of your building's thermal and structural integrity.
