Our Proven Process for Precision Lead Installations

We believe in doing the job right the first time. Our leadwork service begins with a comprehensive roof maintenance inspection to assess the condition of your existing flashings. For hard-to-reach areas, we utilise advanced drone roof surveys to safely identify hairline cracks or thinning lead valley gutters.Once the issue is diagnosed, we provide a transparent, itemised quote. Our skilled team then carefully removes the old, deteriorated material. We prepare the brickwork and roofing surface to ensure a clean, secure fit for the new lead.During installation, we use high-quality milled or traditional sand-cast lead, carefully shaping and dressing it to fit the contours of your roof. We employ expert lead welding techniques and incorporate necessary expansion joints to allow for natural thermal movement, ensuring your new flashing remains secure through all seasons.

Leadwork & Flashing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our specialist leadwork, chimney flashing, and roof repair services from the experts at Kevington Roofing and Building LTD across Swanley, Sevenoaks, Kent, and Croydon & South London.

How do I know if my chimney flashing needs repairing?

+

The most common sign is water staining on the ceiling or walls around your chimney breast. You might also see visible gaps where the metal has pulled away from the brickwork, or find small pieces of mortar on the ground that have fallen from the flashing joints. If you are unsure, we can perform a quick drone survey to check the condition safely.

Can’t I just use bitumen tape to fix a leaking lead valley?

+

Flash-band or bitumen tapes are only temporary patches. They struggle with the expansion and contraction of the roof and usually fail within a few months. For a permanent fix in the Swanley area, we always recommend replacing the failed section with new, correctly weighted lead that is properly bossed and fixed.

How long does it take to replace lead flashing on a standard house?

+

Most flashing repairs, such as around a single chimney stack or a porch, can be completed within a single day. Larger projects, like replacing long lead valleys or installing a lead flat roof, may take two to three days. We always aim to keep your home watertight throughout the entire process.

Is lead theft a problem in Kent and how can you prevent it?

+

While lead theft can happen, we can use specific fixing methods and high-quality adhesives to make it much harder to remove. For high-risk areas, we can also discuss modern "lead-alternative" products that have no scrap value but offer similar waterproofing performance, though traditional lead remains the gold standard for longevity.
