The Importance of Lead Flashing

Lead flashing is an essential component of any roofing system. It acts as a waterproof barrier between your roof and adjoining structures, such as chimneys, walls, or skylights. Properly installed lead flashing not only prevents leaks but also enhances the overall durability of your roof. Renowned for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to weathering, lead flashing has been a trusted choice for centuries.

Without effective lead flashing, water can seep into vulnerable areas, leading to structural damage, mould growth, and costly repairs. Investing in high-quality lead flashing is essential for protecting your home or business from these potential issues.

 

Signs It’s Time for a Repair or Replacement

Over time, even the most robust lead flashing can become worn or damaged due to weather exposure, age, or poor installation. Here are some key signs that it might be time for a repair or replacement:

  • Visible cracks or splits: Cracked flashing can allow water to penetrate your roof structure.
  • Loose or displaced flashing: Strong winds or improper fixing can cause flashing to become loose, leaving gaps.
  • Water stains or damp patches: If you notice damp spots on walls or ceilings, it could indicate leaking flashing.
  • Rust or corrosion: While lead is highly durable, older or poorly maintained flashing may show signs of wear.
  • Increased draughts: Gaps in flashing can compromise the insulation of your property.

If you’re unsure whether your lead flashing needs attention, our team at AJ Scutchings can provide a thorough inspection to identify any potential issues.
