Flashing Fixed Properly, Not Just Sealed Over
Lead flashing seals the join between a roof and a chimney, wall or valley - when it cracks, lifts or perishes, it's one of the most common places for a roof to start leaking.
We repair or replace flashing using Code 4 and Code 5 lead to current British Standard, correctly dressed into the brickwork or roof covering rather than just sealed with mastic.
Flashing problems are often the real cause of leaks that other repairs have missed – if you’ve had recurring damp with no obvious cause, it’s worth having your flashing checked.

Flashing that has come away from the brickwork no longer seals the join.
Damp Near the Chimney Breast

If a leak keeps coming back, the flashing is often the real cause.
Visible Gaps in Mastic Sealant
Mastic is a temporary fix at best - gaps mean the flashing beneath needs attention.
