How long does lead roof flashing last?When installed correctly to BS 6915 standards using the appropriate code of lead, high-quality leadwork can easily last over 60 years. It is incredibly resistant to corrosion, severe weather, and UV degradation.Can you repair split lead flashing instead of replacing it?In many cases, minor splits or cracks can be repaired using specialist lead welding services. However, if the lead has significantly thinned or degraded due to age, a full lead valley replacement or new chimney flashing is often the most cost-effective, long-term solution.Do you offer drone roof surveys for leadwork inspections?Yes. If your roof has complex or hard-to-reach joints, we offer professional drone roof surveys. This allows us to safely and accurately assess the condition of your leadwork and flashings without the immediate need for costly scaffolding.
