What Is Lead Flashing?

Lead flashing is the weatherproof barrier that seals joints where the roof meets brickwork or other structures. When it cracks, lifts, or perishes, rain can track behind the coverings and cause damp patches, stained ceilings, and timber damage.

Common Signs You Need Leadwork Repairs

  • Drips or damp marks near chimney breasts and upstairs ceilings
  • Loose or missing mortar where flashing meets brickwork
  • Visible splits, pinholes, or lifted edges in existing lead
  • Wind-driven rain entering around walls, dormers, or valleys

FAQs — Lead Flashing Repairs in Harborne

1) What causes lead flashing to fail?

Age, thermal movement, poor installation, inadequate laps, and mortar deterioration can all lead to cracks or lifted edges that let water in.

2) Do I need a full replacement or can it be repaired?

Minor defects may be repaired by re-dressing, reseating, or localised patching. Heavily split or undersized lead usually needs full replacement for a lasting fix.

3) How long does new lead flashing last?

When installed correctly with the right code lead and detailing, lead flashing can last for decades with minimal maintenance.

4) Can you fix leaks around my chimney?

Yes. We repair or replace step flashing, aprons, back gutters, and soakers to restore full weather protection around chimneys.

5) Will you match the existing brickwork and mortar?

Yes. Chases are cut neatly and pointed to suit the substrate, delivering a clean, professional finish.

6) How quickly can you attend?

Attendance depends on current workload, but urgent leaks are prioritised. Temporary weathering can be applied if conditions require.
