Lead Roofing Services in Heron House
Lead is the gold standard for weatherproof detailing on roofs, providing unmatched flexibility and longevity. GB Roofing Ltd crafts and installs traditional lead flashings, valleys, gullies, and flat surfaces for domestic and commercial buildings.
When You Need Lead Roofing Services
Water penetration around chimney stacks usually points to cracked or failing lead step flashing. White staining or powdery corrosion on existing leadwork indicates chemical decay or incorrect sizing. Slumping or cracking lead valleys let heavy rainwater pour directly into roof spaces. Older properties with original leadwork showing signs of fatigue require specialist replacement.
How We Do It
We inspect the existing lead details and measure dimensions to ensure proper thermal movement allowance. We remove degraded lead flashings and clean out mortar joints in brickwork or stonework. We shape high-purity rolled lead to code standards, embedding it securely into chased joints and fixing with appropriate clips. We point up mortar chases with sand and cement or specialized mastic to lock the lead in place.
What to Expect
Most lead flashing repairs and valley replacements are completed within 1 to 2 days with zero internal disruption.
