Poorly done work, or corroded lead can lead to leaks that cause much larger problems, so while it may seem like a small detail, it’s a crucial one. Different kinds of flashing are used depending on the type of roof – pitched or flat – and is also used at any joint point, such as around chimneys or windows. Lead covering is also necessary around parapet and tapered gutters, which are commonly found on older buildings.

When properly applied, lead work can last for over 100 years, so it’s worth employing the services of a quality, trusted roofing service such as Lewis Roofing Solutions. We also offer 24-hour emergency call-outs, so if you discover an issue with your flashing or a leak, we can get to you quickly and fix the issue.

Our techniques used include leadwelding, bossing and dressing.
