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.
