Lead Flashing Repairs FAQs

Short answers for common lead flashing repairs enquiries in Morecambe, Lancaster and Preston.

Lead flashing seals roof joints around chimneys and abutments. It can fail through age, movement, poor fixing, split lead or failed mortar chases.

Yes. Failed flashing can let water track into the roof space and appear as damp patches away from the actual defect.

Small defects may be repairable, but badly split, lifted or poorly installed flashing is often better replaced properly.
