Understanding Your Lead Flashing: A Vital Barrier for Your Gillingham Home

Ignoring damaged or failing lead flashing isn't just about a minor leak; it can quickly escalate into a significant problem for your home. Water ingress from compromised flashing can lead to timber rot in your roof structure, damage to plasterwork, decaying insulation, and even mould growth, posing health risks. These issues often go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred, making the eventual repairs far more extensive and expensive. Our expert roofers understand these risks completely and provide a prompt, effective solution to protect your domestic property. We aim to fix issues before they become major headaches.

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we specialise in the precise and durable replacement of lead flashing. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. We then carefully remove the old, compromised lead, prepare the underlying structure, and expertly cut and shape new lead to the specific contours of your roofline or chimney. Our team uses traditional lead welding and bossing techniques, ensuring a seamless, watertight, and aesthetically pleasing finish that will protect your roof for decades.
