Lead Work Services
Precision-fitted leadwork is the primary defense against water penetration around chimneys, valleys, parapets, and roof junctions. We shape and dress lead to strict Lead Sheet Association standards for long-lasting weather protection.
When You Need Lead Work Services
Cracked, slipped, or sagging lead flashings around chimneys or dormer windows. Water leaking into the property at roof valleys or wall abutment junctions. White powdery corrosion or cracking visible on ageing lead surfaces. Outdated or degraded mortar fillets being used instead of proper stepped lead flashings.
How We Do It
We remove failing leadwork and clean out masonry joints where new flashings will be inserted. We select the appropriate code of lead for the specific application to accommodate thermal movement. We dress, boss, and secure the lead into place with correct laps and lead clips. We apply patination oil to protect the new lead surface and ensure a neat finish.
What to Expect
Most lead flashing and valley replacements are completed within 1 to 2 days depending on the scale of the roof.
