Why Choose Us for Lead Flashing Replacement in Ramsden & Bromley?

Why is the lead flashing on your roof leaking?

Lead is an incredibly durable material, but it is not immortal. Over time, constant exposure to the British weather causes lead to expand and contract. Without the correct installation techniques to allow for this movement, lead eventually cracks or thins. If you have noticed damp patches on your ceilings or walls near a chimney or roof junction, it is often a sign that your flashing has failed. Our roofers identify these common problems early, preventing small leaks from turning into expensive structural repairs.

High-quality leadwork services tailored for South London homes

We do not believe in temporary fixes like bitumastic tape or sealant patches. Instead, we use traditional leadwork skills such as bossing and welding to create a bespoke, weatherproof fit for your property. We typically use Code 4 or Code 5 milled lead, which offers the best balance of flexibility and longevity. Our team, based in Orpington, ensures all new lead is correctly fixed into the masonry with lead wedges and finished with high-quality pointing to prevent any future slips or water penetration.

Professional chimney leadwork and step flashing repairs

Chimneys are one of the most frequent sources of roof leaks. Our specialist services include replacing chimney aprons, back gutters, and stepped flashing. By combining our knowledge of chimney repointing with new lead installation, we give your chimney stack a complete overhaul. We also handle lead valleys and secret gutters, ensuring that rainwater is channelled safely away from your timber structure and into your guttering system with absolute precision.

Lead Flashing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Leadwork & Flashing

Find answers to common questions regarding professional lead flashing replacement, chimney leadwork, and roof leak prevention from Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, serving Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

How do I know if my lead flashing needs replacing?

+

Look for visible cracks in the metal, pieces that have slipped out of the brickwork, or white powdery stains on the tiles. If you see dampness on the walls inside your loft or around the chimney, it is usually a sign that the flashing has failed. We can use a drone to get high-definition photos of these areas if they are hard to reach, saving you the cost of scaffolding just for an inspection.

Is lead better than modern flashing alternatives?

+

While there are plastic and bitumen-based alternatives, natural lead remains the gold standard for roofing. It is more flexible, which is vital for getting a tight seal around awkward shapes. It also has a much longer lifespan, often lasting over 60 years if installed correctly by an experienced roofer.

How long does it take to repair chimney flashing?

+

Most lead flashing replacements for a single chimney stack take about a day to complete. We remove the old lead, cut a new "raggle" or groove into the brickwork if needed, and install the new milled lead. We make sure everything is weatherproofed before we leave your site.

Will the new lead match my old roof?

+

Newly installed lead has a shiny grey appearance, but it quickly dulls down to a classic matt grey that matches traditional roofing perfectly. We apply a coat of patination oil to all new leadwork. This stops the initial oxidation from staining your roof tiles and helps the metal age evenly.

Can you fix my gutters while you are repairing the leadwork?

+

Yes. We often find that leaking leadwork and blocked or broken gutters go hand-in-hand. While we have the ladders up to check your flashing, we can also inspect your fascias, soffits, and guttering to make sure your entire roofline is working correctly to move water away from your walls.
