What is Lead Flashing?

Lead flashing is a vital component of any roofing system, designed to protect your property from water ingress. It acts as a barrier, sealing joints and edges where the roof meets other structures like chimneys, walls, and dormer windows. Lead is highly durable, malleable, and weather-resistant, making it the perfect material for long-term protection.

 

The Importance of Lead Flashing

Properly installed and maintained lead flashing provides essential benefits, including:

• Waterproofing: Prevents water from seeping into your property’s structure.
• Durability: Withstands harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Enhances the overall look of your roof with a traditional and timeless finish.
• Longevity: High-quality lead flashing can last for decades when properly cared for.

Neglecting damaged or poorly installed lead flashing can lead to significant problems, such as water damage, mould growth, and structural issues. Trusting professionals like AJ Scutchings & Son ensures your roof remains in optimal condition.

 

When Is It Time to Replace Lead Flashing?

It’s important to recognise the signs that your lead flashing may need replacing. Here are some key indicators:

• Cracks or Splits: Visible damage or deterioration in the lead material.
• Leaks: Water ingress around chimneys, walls, or other junctions.
• Lifting or Displacement: Flashing that has come loose due to high winds or poor installation.
• Corrosion: Discolouration or white powdery deposits, known as lead carbonate.
• Age: If your lead flashing is over 50 years old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan.

If you notice any of these issues, contact us for a professional assessment. Our team will provide honest advice and tailored solutions to meet your needs.
