New Code-Grade Lead Flashing, Fitted Properly

Lead flashing is the weatherproofing that seals every joint where your roof meets something else, the chimney, a parapet wall, a valley or a soil pipe. Tiles cannot close those gaps on their own, so the lead does the job, and when it thins, cracks or lifts that joint is almost always where the water gets in.

We renew leadwork across Amersham and the surrounding Buckinghamshire villages using the correct code and thickness for the job, dressed tightly to the roofline and pointed back into the brick. Whether your old lead has split, your flashing was fitted too thin, or movement has opened up the joint, we put it right so the roof sheds water cleanly again. Every job starts with a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Lead Flashing FAQs

Common Questions

What is lead flashing and why does it matter?
Lead flashing is the metal weatherproofing fitted where your roof meets a chimney, wall or valley. It seals the joints that tiles alone cannot, so it is usually the first thing to fail and the most common cause of a leaking roof.
How long does lead flashing last?
Good quality code-grade leadwork, dressed and pointed correctly, can last for decades. Problems usually come from thin lead, poor fitting or movement cracking the joint, all of which we put right with new material.
Can you replace flashing without redoing the whole roof?
Yes. In most cases we renew just the failed flashing around the chimney, valley or abutment and re-point it, which stops the leak without the cost of a full roof. We confirm this at the free survey.
