Lead step flashing where a tiled roof meets a brick wall, fitted by LDR Roofing

Leadwork seals the joins: where a roof meets a wall, surrounds a chimney, or runs into a valley. It is some of the most skilled work on any roof, and some of the most common places for water to get in when it fails.

Wayne fits and repairs lead step flashings, aprons, back gutters and valleys. A recent customer had their garage flashing replaced and mentioned the helpful advice and updates throughout.

What's included

  • Step and cover flashings
  • Chimney aprons and back gutters
  • Lead valleys
  • Abutment and garage flashings
  • Re-pointing of flashings

Why is lead used for flashing?

Lead can be shaped precisely to fit awkward junctions, and fitted correctly it lasts for a very long time. That is why it remains the traditional choice for flashings on pitched roofs.
