Leadwork in Oxted, the Redhill and Reigate Areas, and all Locations in Surrey, South London and West London
Lead is a commonly used material in the roofing sector because it seals joints between two surfaces to waterproof the property. Many of the repairs that we undertake as a roofing company come down to poorly installed flashing or leadwork that has become defective with age. Usually, the lead outlasts the roof it protects but should you notice a potential issue that could result in water ingress, please contact us to perform an inspection immediately.
Because leadwork is such an integral part of the roofing system, it needs to be in good condition to protect against dampness, mould, mildew and rot.
R.P.S. Roofing Ltd can offer leadwork services in the following areas:
Banstead | Caterham | Dorking | Oxted | Redhill | Reigate | Warlingham | Westerham | Woldingham | Surrey | South London | West London
A roofing issue isn’t going to improve by itself and the longer you leave it to call us, the more the leadwork will deteriorate. The immediate objective of our roofers is to minimise damage so that water can’t enter the property. Because we specialise in emergency roof repairs and offer 24/7 callouts, an issue with your lead flashing doesn’t need to turn into a crisis.
Our roofing company can work with the following types of leadwork:
- Continuous Flashing
- Apron Flashing
- Chimney Flashing
- Counter Flashing
- Step Flashing
- Skylight Flashing
- Valley Flashing
- Kickout Lead Flashing
We also specialise in drip edges to protect the fascias and soffits. Leadwork can be combined with chimney repairs to the masonry and mortar.
Common Leadwork Issues
With the ability to repair and replace leadwork on domestic and commercial properties, we protect homes and businesses from the elements so that the demanding autumn and winter months stop water from penetrating the roof space. Although we would always recommend a professional inspection, you should still be able to notice obvious signs of damage to the lead personally.
These can include:
- Corroded Flashing
- Missing Flashing
- Loose Lead Flashing
Replacing leadwork is a simple and straightforward process for a professional team and our personnel have trained in the use of all lead flashing types. We remove old cemented or nailed flashing then cut, shape and fit the new leadwork. It should be noted that this type of work, while relatively easy for a professional tradesperson, isn’t suited to hobbyists or DIY enthusiasts.
Any type of work at height, without the required training, presents a risk.
Customers and clients from the Banstead, Caterham, Dorking, Oxted, Redhill, Reigate, Warlingham, Westerham and Woldingham areas, and those across Surrey, South London and West London, can protect themselves from falls and associated dangers by making us their preferred roofing contractors.
Please feel free to call us at any time, day or night, if your leadwork is in need of replacement. We will do whatever we can to help and assist you.
