Expert Leadwork and Roof Flashing Specialists in Maidstone

Every leadwork project we undertake follows a meticulous process to guarantee a flawless finish and long-lasting protection. Here is how our experienced roofing contractors handle your installation or repair:Comprehensive Inspection: We begin with a thorough assessment, often utilising our advanced drone roof surveys to safely inspect hard-to-reach chimney stacks and lead valleys without immediate scaffolding.Safe Removal and Preparation: Our team carefully strips away any damaged, perished, or slipped flashing, ensuring the underlying brickwork and mortar are clean, solid, and ready for new materials.Custom Lead Fabrication: Using premium milled lead, we carefully cut, shape, and dress the material on-site. This traditional leadwork approach ensures a perfect, watertight fit around the specific contours of your roof and brickwork.Secure Installation and Treatment: We securely point the new flashing into the brickwork and finish the surface with a coating of patination oil. This crucial final step prevents white carbonate stains from streaking down your roof tiles and brickwork over time.
