Leadwork & Flashing
Looking After the Places Your Roof Joins the Building
Where your roof meets a wall, chimney or another roof section, the flashing helps keep the joint watertight. If water is getting in nearby, we check the junction and surrounding materials together to understand what needs repairing.
What Matters Most
Checking the Junction That Needs Attention
Tell us about your roof, what's prompted you to get in touch and what you'd like to achieve. We can then talk through the work that may be needed.
1. We Check the Junction
We repair and replace damaged flashing where roofs meet walls, chimneys and other features. The repair needs to suit both the junction and the roof around it.
2. We Investigate the Leak
Tell us about any water coming in or visible damage near a chimney or wall. We consider the flashing and nearby covering before deciding what needs work.
3. We Discuss Any Related Work
Leadwork can be part of a local repair, chimney work or a full roof replacement. Let us know what else you're planning so we can consider the connected areas together.
4. Get in Touch
Send your postcode, roof type and any photos you can take safely. You don't need to diagnose the fault yourself; tell us what you've noticed and we can discuss an inspection.

Your Questions Answered
Leadwork & Flashing Questions
Answers to common questions about our work.
Have something else you'd like to ask? Tell us about your property and we'll talk it through with you.
What Does Roof Flashing Do?
Flashing helps keep water out where a roof meets a wall, chimney or other feature. It needs to suit the surrounding roof and masonry, so we look at the whole junction when discussing a repair.
Can You Repair Flashing Around a Chimney?
Yes, we repair chimney flashing. We'll also consider the nearby brickwork, mortar and roof covering, as a leak in that area can have more than one possible cause.
Does a Leak Near a Wall Mean the Lead Has Failed?
Not necessarily. Water can travel before it leaves a stain indoors. Tell us when the leak happens and share any safe photos you have so we can consider the wall junction and the roof around it.
Can Existing Flashing Be Reused During Re-Roofing?
Sometimes, if it's in good condition and suits the new roof. We'll explain which flashing we're replacing and which we're keeping as part of your quote.
Is Repointing the Same as Flashing Repair?
No. Repointing renews the mortar in masonry joints; flashing protects the connection between the roof and the wall or chimney. Your roof may need one or both, and we'll explain them separately.
Can You Work on Extension Roof Junctions?
Yes, we work on leadwork and flashing where extension roofs meet the house. Tell us whether it's a repair, new extension or roof replacement, and what covering is being used.
Should I Apply Sealant Before Calling?
Please don't climb onto the roof or try to seal the leak yourself. Tell us what's happening and about any earlier treatments. We can then discuss a repair that suits the materials and the cause of the problem.
What Information Helps with a Leadwork Quote?
Send your postcode, the roof type and the position of the affected junction, with photos taken safely. Let us know about leaks, previous repairs and any chimney or roof replacement work you're planning.
