Signs to look for

Where lead fails

Flashing pulled out of the wall

The mortar holding the lead in the brick joint washes out and the flashing lifts.

Splits round the chimney

Old lead cracks where it folds round the stack, letting water run inside.

Damp where an extension meets the house

A failed wall flashing over a lean-to or extension is a classic leak.

How Shane does it

New lead, dressed and fixed properly

Shane cuts out the failed lead, renews soakers and step flashings, wedges the new lead into raked-out joints and repoints them, then dresses it to the tiles so water runs off.

A Google reviewer had a leak in their flashing located quickly and the work completed within 48 hours, and was steered away from spending thousands on a replacement another firm had recommended.

New lead work reaping an issue with dry verge

I advertised the job on Friday They contacted me within the hour and came for a quote that afternoon. Quote was very competive. They turned up the next day and completed it with no issues Great communication throughout with before and after photos explaining what was done They even fixed a loose tile they found for free Friendly guys with no fuss. Will definitely use them again

Lead flashing questions

Can a lead flashing be repaired, or does it need replacing?

A flashing that has simply pulled out of the joint is refixed and repointed. Split or thin lead is replaced. Shane shows you which yours is.

What about sealant or flashing tape?

It looks fine for a season and then peels. New lead, properly dressed, lasts decades.

Do you do lead valleys too?

Yes. See roof valley repairs, where Shane fixed a Brookwood valley within a day.

Leak, slipped tiles or a roof you are worried about?

Tell Shane what is going on. He comes out, finds the real cause and gives you a fixed written quote.
