What are the signs my chimney flashing needs replacing?The most common signs include damp patches on your interior chimney breast, water stains on upstairs ceilings, or visible cracks and slipped lead when looking up at the roof. If you notice any of these, we recommend booking a roof leak detection survey immediately to prevent further internal damage.Can you repair lead flashing, or does it always need replacing?It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor splits can sometimes be resolved with expert lead welding. However, if the lead is severely degraded, thin, or poorly installed, a complete replacement using appropriate British Standard lead codes is the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution.Why is lead still used on modern roofs?Despite advances in roofing materials, lead remains the gold standard for sealing roof junctions. Its malleability allows it to be dressed perfectly over complex tile profiles, and its natural weight prevents it from lifting in high winds.
