It's skilled work. Don't leave it ## What happens if it's ignored ### Hidden leaks Water running behind failed flashing often shows up far from the source. ### Timber rot Constant moisture around chimneys and valleys rots rafters and battens. ### Damp walls Failed abutment flashing lets water soak into walls inside. ### Repeated failed repairs Sealant over split lead rarely lasts more than a season. ### Common mistakes we see - Smearing sealant over split lead. - Using mortar fillets instead of proper lead flashings. - Fitting lead in pieces that are too long, which then split from expansion. - Assuming a leak near a chimney must be the chimney itself.

In detail ## Leadwork & Flashings: materials, methods & options ### Chimney flashings and back gutters A chimney needs an apron at the front, stepped flashings and soakers down the sides and a back gutter behind. Miss any of these and water gets in. ### Valleys Lead-lined valleys carry heavy flows of water from two roof slopes. Worn or undersized valleys are replaced with correctly sized lead and laps. ### Abutments, dormers and roof windows Wherever a roof meets a wall, dormer cheek or window, flashings must be dressed to direct water back onto the tiles. We form these on site to suit the exact shape. ### Lead alternatives Where theft is a concern, non-lead flashing materials are available. We'll explain the options honestly so you can choose. ### Leadwork & Flashings near you We're based in Grimsby and carry out leadwork & flashings across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Immingham, Scunthorpe, Louth, Hull, Beverley, Doncaster and Goole.
