Frequently Asked Questions — Roof Leadwork Repairs Evesham

How do I know if my lead flashing needs repairing?

Common signs include damp patches on interior ceilings or walls near a chimney, skylight, or roof junction, visible cracks or lifting in the lead itself, or deteriorating mortar around the flashing. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to have a roofer inspect the area promptly to prevent further water damage.

Can lead flashing be repaired rather than fully replaced?

In many cases, yes. Minor cracks, lifted sections, or failed mortar joints can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, if the lead has become brittle, corroded, or extensively damaged, a full replacement will provide a longer-lasting and more reliable solution. Our team will advise honestly after inspecting your roof.

How long does lead flashing last?

When correctly installed using the appropriate code of lead sheet, lead flashing can last 50 to 100 years or more. Poor installation, incorrect lead grade, or lack of maintenance can significantly reduce its lifespan. Regular roof inspections help identify small issues before they become expensive problems.

Is lead flashing still used on modern roofs?

Yes, lead remains the preferred material for roof flashings in the UK due to its durability, malleability, and weather resistance. It is used around chimneys, skylights, dormers, and flat roofs. Some modern alternatives exist, but traditional lead is still widely regarded as the gold standard for lasting weatherproofing.

How long will the repair work take?

Most standard leadwork repairs, such as re-dressing chimney flashing or patching a small section, can be completed within a single day. Larger jobs involving full replacements or multiple areas may take two to three days. We will always give you a clear timeframe when we provide your quote.

Do I need to be at home during the repair?

It is not always essential, though we recommend someone is available at the start and end of the job. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process and will not leave until you are satisfied with the completed work. We treat every property with respect and ensure a clean, tidy finish.

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship. Sealine Roofing provides a guarantee on all leadwork repairs and installations.
