Expert Roof Flashing Repairs in Chatham & Across Kent

Often, the first sign of faulty flashing is an internal water stain on your ceiling or walls, usually near a chimney, a roof window, or a wall adjacent to the roof. Other external indicators include visible cracks, lifts, or corrosion on the flashing material itself. You might see discoloured patches, crumbling mortar around lead work, or even bits of lead or other flashing material on the ground after heavy winds. If you spot any of these warning signs on your Chatham property, it's time to call in the experts. Acting quickly can prevent minor repairs from becoming major, expensive projects.

We approach every flashing repair job with meticulous care. Our process begins with a comprehensive, on-site assessment to accurately pinpoint the source of the leak and the condition of the existing flashing. Whether it's a small crack in lead, a loose upstand, or corrosion, we diagnose the precise issue. Then, we expertly remove any compromised sections, prepare the area, and install new, high-quality flashing material, ensuring a robust, watertight, and long-lasting seal. We make sure the repair integrates seamlessly with your existing roof, maintaining its integrity and appearance.

The longevity of your flashing repair depends heavily on the materials used and the skill of the installation. We use only trusted, high-performance materials appropriate for your specific roof and the type of flashing needed. This includes traditional lead work, where our team employs time-honoured techniques like bossing and welding for superior durability and a classic aesthetic. For other areas, we might use modern, flexible GRP (fibreglass) or purpose-made uPVC and bitumen-based flashings, all chosen for their resilience against the elements and long lifespan. We always recommend the best solution for your particular needs and budget.
