Expert Leadwork and Flashing Repairs in Edenbridge

We approach every roof maintenance project with precision and care, ensuring all work complies with strict BS 6915 standards. First, we conduct a thorough assessment to safely inspect hard-to-reach chimney repairs and valleys. Once we identify the compromised areas, we strip away the old materials. We then shape and install new, appropriately sized lead—typically Code 4 for flashings and Code 5 or 6 for roof valleys—to allow for natural expansion and contraction. Finally, we meticulously point the brickwork, securing the lead flashing in place for decades of reliable protection.Call 01689 663319 to book a professional assessment.

Many homeowners only realise their lead flashing has failed when they spot damp patches on their ceiling or walls near a chimney breast. However, early warning signs include lead that has slipped out of the mortar joint, visible cracks, or a chalky white residue indicating severe age and oxidation. If you notice daylight peering through your loft space near a roof valley, or if a recent storm has lifted your step flashings, it is vital to arrange an inspection immediately to prevent further internal damage.
