Installing lead is a highly skilled trade. If lead is laid in pieces that are too large, or if the fixings restrict natural thermal movement, the metal will quickly buckle, split, and fail under the summer sun. This is why strict adherence to industry guidelines is absolutely non-negotiable for our team.At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, every roof lead replacement in Surrey complies fully with BS 6915 lead standards. This ensures the correct code, or thickness, of lead is used for each specific application, whether it is Code 4 for step flashing or heavier Code 5 and 6 for box gutters and flat roof coverings.By following these stringent regulations, we guarantee maximum longevity, excellent thermal performance, and complete peace of mind for you as a homeowner.

How long does lead flashing usually last?When installed correctly to BS 6915 standards, quality lead flashing can easily last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Its exceptional lifespan makes it a highly cost-effective weatherproofing material over the long term.Can you just patch a small crack in my chimney flashing?In some minor cases, skilled lead welding can repair a small split safely. However, if the lead has lost its structural integrity or the surrounding mortar has completely failed, a partial or full replacement is usually the safest way to guarantee a permanent watertight seal.Do you provide emergency repairs for leaking roof valleys?Yes, we offer fast-response emergency roof repairs across our service area.
