Expert Roof Flashing Repairs in Northfleet & Across Kent

Catching flashing problems early can save you significant time and money. Keep an eye out for these common indicators:

• Internal Water Stains: The most obvious sign. Look for discoloured patches on ceilings or walls, particularly near chimneys, windows, or roof joints.
• Corrosion or Cracks on Exterior Flashing: If you can safely inspect your roof (or use a drone, as we can!), look for visible cracks, lifting, or rust on the flashing material itself. Lead can sometimes split with age.
• Missing Mortar or Sealant: The mortar or sealant around your flashing can degrade, creating gaps where water can seep through.
• Damp or Mould in the Loft: Any signs of moisture in your attic space could point to a leak originating from compromised flashing.
• Loose or Lifted Flashing: Strong winds or age can cause flashing to become dislodged, leaving an open pathway for water.

Our skilled team starts with a detailed assessment of the affected area to pinpoint the exact issue. Whether it's a small crack, lifted leadwork, or completely deteriorated sealant, we use the correct materials and proven techniques for a robust fix. This often involves carefully removing old, damaged flashing, preparing the underlying surface, and then expertly installing new, high-quality materials. We're specialists in traditional leadwork, including bossing and welding for a seamless, durable finish, as well as working with modern alternatives like zinc or lead-free flashing products that offer excellent long-term performance.
