Protect Your Gillingham Home: Why Roof Flashing is So Important

Over time, even the best flashing can suffer from wear and tear. Here are some of the frequent issues our expert roofers encounter and repair in Gillingham homes:

• Cracked or Damaged Leadwork: Old lead can split or become brittle, especially with temperature changes. We carefully repair or replace damaged sections with new, durable lead that will stand the test of time.
• Loose or Lifted Flashings: Strong winds or poor installation can cause flashing to pull away from the roof or wall, creating an open invitation for water. We re-secure and seal these vital areas properly.
• Corrosion or Rust: While lead is durable, other metal flashings can corrode, especially if not correctly installed or maintained. We identify the source of the problem and fit appropriate, long-lasting replacements.
• Incorrect Installation: Unfortunately, some flashing failures stem from a poor initial installation. Our team rectifies these faults, ensuring your new or repaired flashing meets the highest standards for weatherproofing.
  No matter the specific issue, our team has the knowledge and tools to provide a robust solution.
