Expert Lead Flashing Replacement & Repairs in Sevenoaks & Kent

Catching problems early saves you money and hassle. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs that your lead flashing might need repair or replacement:

• Cracks or Tears: Lead can crack with extreme temperature changes or if it's old and fatigued.
• Lifting or Loosening: High winds can lift lead, breaking its seal.
• Damp Patches Inside: Stains on ceilings or walls near chimneys or external walls are a clear red flag.
• Corrosion or Pitting: While lead is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or faulty installation can cause it to degrade.
• Visible Gaps: Any noticeable gap between the lead and your chimney or wall means water can get in.
  If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call in the experts.

At Kevington Roofing, we offer a full range of leadwork services carried out by our skilled team. We don't just patch; we assess the root cause and provide a lasting solution.

• Lead Flashing Repair: For minor cracks or lifts, we can often carry out targeted repairs, resealing and re-dressing the lead to restore its integrity.
• Full Lead Flashing Replacement: When lead is old, heavily damaged, or improperly installed, a full replacement is often the best long-term solution. We carefully remove the old material and install new, high-grade lead, ensuring perfect weatherproofing.
• Chimney Flashing: This is one of the most common areas for leaks. We expertly install step flashing, apron flashing, and back gutters around your chimney stack.
• Valley Leadwork: We ensure valleys, where two roof slopes meet, are perfectly sealed with bespoke leadwork to manage heavy rainwater flow.
• Parapet Wall Flashings: Protecting the top of upstanding walls where they meet the roof, vital for flat roofs and extensions.
• Specialist Lead Bossing & Welding: Our team possesses the traditional skills required for complex lead shaping (bossing) and joining (welding), ensuring a seamless and durable finish.
