Expert Lead Flashing Replacement in East Grinstead & Surrounding Areas

Knowing what to look for can save you a lot of hassle and expense. Keep an eye out for these common indicators that your lead flashing might need attention:

• Visible Cracks or Tears: Lead can fatigue and crack, especially at stress points.
• Distorted or Lifting Edges: If the lead is no longer sitting flat against the surface, it’s not doing its job.
• Staining on Walls Below: Dark, damp patches or watermarks on internal or external walls near a chimney or roof junction often point to a leak.
• Missing Sections: Sometimes, older lead can simply come loose or blow away in strong winds.
• Moss or Debris Accumulation: While not a direct sign of lead failure, heavy moss can trap moisture and accelerate deterioration.
• Previous Patchwork Repairs: If your lead has been poorly repaired multiple times, it might be time for a complete replacement.
  If you spot any of these signs, don't delay – call us on 01689 663319 for a thorough inspection.

When we carry out lead flashing replacement, we follow a meticulous process to ensure a lasting and watertight solution for your property. Our skilled roofers begin with a comprehensive assessment of the existing leadwork and the surrounding roof structure. We carefully remove the old, compromised lead, taking care to check the underlying timber or masonry for any signs of damp or decay. Then, we expertly cut, shape, and fit new code-specified lead, using traditional bossing and welding techniques where appropriate. We pay close attention to secure fixing and precise dressing to the contours of your roof, creating a seamless and weatherproof seal that stands the test of time.

Opting for professional lead flashing replacement offers more than just a quick fix. You're investing in:
