Protecting Your Tilbury Home: Why Lead Flashing Matters

How do you know if your lead flashing needs attention? Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs around your chimney, dormers, or roof valleys. You might spot dark stains on your interior ceilings or walls, especially after heavy rain. Externally, the lead itself may appear buckled, cracked, or discoloured, often showing white or powdery deposits. Sometimes, it simply lifts away from the brickwork or tiles, creating an open invitation for water. If you notice any of these issues, it's a clear signal that your Tilbury home needs a professional roofing assessment to prevent further water ingress and bigger problems.
