Why Does Roof Flashing Fail? Common Issues We Fix

Roof flashing is designed to flex and expand with temperature changes, but over time, it can crack, lift, or become dislodged. Common culprits include: old, brittle lead work that has split; mortar around chimneys that has crumbled, allowing water behind the flashing; incorrect installation that never provided a proper seal; or even storm damage tearing it away. Ignoring these signs can lead to significant problems, from visible damp patches on your ceilings to hidden structural damage that undermines your home's integrity. Our experienced team quickly identifies the root cause of the failure, not just the symptom, so we can provide a lasting solution.

Why Choose Kevington Roofing for Flashing Repairs in Ramsden & Bromley?

Comprehensive Flashing Repair Solutions for Swanley Properties

When you call Kevington Roofing, we start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the flashing issue. We bring 25 years of practical knowledge to every job, making sure we trace any leaks back to their source. Our repair services cover all types of flashing, from traditional lead work around chimneys and dormer windows to modern synthetic and metal flashings on flat roofs or extensions. We carry out precise re-pointing, re-dressing, or full replacement of damaged sections using only high-quality, durable materials that are built to withstand the elements for years to come.

Specialist Lead Flashing & Chimney Flashing Repairs

Lead flashing remains one of the most effective and durable materials for weatherproofing, especially around complex structures like chimneys. However, working with lead requires specialist skills, including traditional bossing and welding techniques, to ensure a seamless, watertight finish. At Kevington Roofing, our roofers are experts in handling all aspects of lead work, including restoring or replacing chimney flashings, step flashings, soakers, and aprons. We also tackle repairs to the chimney stack itself, from re-pointing crumbling mortar joints to structural repairs, making sure your entire chimney area is secure and watertight. This specialist care means your Swanley home stays protected from the top down.

Roof Flashing Repairs FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about lead flashing, chimney leaks, and weatherproofing services provided by Kevington Roofing and Building LTD across Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

How do I know if my roof flashing needs repairing?

+

The most obvious sign is water dripping inside your home, particularly near a chimney or where two roof sections meet. From the outside, look for metal strips that look loose, cracked, or have visible gaps behind them. If you see pieces of mortar on the ground near your gutters, it is often a sign the pointing holding your flashing has failed.

Is lead flashing replacement expensive?

+

It is much cheaper than repairing the structural damage caused by a long-term leak. The cost depends on how much lead we need to replace and how easy it is to reach the area. We always provide a clear, fixed quote after seeing the job, so you won't face any surprises.

How long does a typical flashing repair take?

+

Most small repairs, like resealing a chimney or replacing a single length of flashing, can be finished in a few hours. Larger projects, such as re-doing all the leadwork on a large extension, might take a day or two. We work efficiently to get your home secure as quickly as possible.

Can you fix a leaking roof in Ramsden or Bromley quickly?

+

Yes, we prioritise local repairs to prevent internal damage. Because we are based right here in Orpington, we can usually get someone out to assess your roof and provide a solution promptly.

Do you offer a guarantee on your leadwork?

+

We take huge pride in our workmanship. Since we use 25 years of experience and top-tier materials, we stand by every repair we make. Our goal is to give you a roof you don’t have to worry about for another twenty years.
