GET A QUOTELead Work in Carnforth
Old lead splits along fold lines, lifts at the edges and cracks where oversized sheets have been forced to move. When that happens, water tracks behind the flashing and shows up as damp indoors, often some distance from the actual fault. KSB Roofing Solutions puts leadwork right in Carnforth and nearby, cutting sheets to the correct code and length, dressing them into the mortar joints and clipping them so they stay put through heat and frost.
What the work involves
For chimney flashings we combine several elements: a front apron, stepped flashing dressed into the brickwork courses, cover flashing and back gutter or soakers between the tiles. Each piece is cut from the correct code lead, dressed tight to the roof and chimney, wedged into raked-out joints and repointed. Where sheets join, we use lead welding rather than solder for a stronger, longer-lasting seam. The finished flashing sheds water cleanly away from the stack.

What code of lead do you use for flashings and why?
The right code matters because lead that is too thin cracks and too heavy is wasteful. Code 4 suits many wall and chimney flashings; code 5 goes where water volume or exposure is higher, such as valley linings. Rather than relying on solder or mastic, we lead-weld joints so they move as one piece with the sheet. This avoids the split seams that cause leaks.
What affects the price of leadwork on my roof?
Price comes down to the amount of lead required, the code and length of sheet, access to the roof and how much failed material needs removing. Chimney flashings, valleys and bay roofs all differ in scope. Rather than guess, we look at the job in person, then provide a free, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what the work involves and what it costs.
Will replacing lead flashing take all day?
A straightforward chimney or abutment flashing is usually a day's work. Valley linings, bay roofs and multiple flashings take longer, often a couple of days, particularly if scaffolding is needed or old lead has to be removed first. We will confirm the expected duration in your quote, and wet weather can push things back since lead cannot be dressed safely in the rain.
What are the signs of failed lead flashing?
Look for damp appearing indoors close to chimneys, party walls or roof abutments, and for flashing that is cracked, split, lifting at the edges or slipping out of the mortar. Oversized old sheets often tear along a line where they have flexed. Any of these means water can get behind the lead. We can survey the roof for free and tell you what is actually failing.
Is leadwork disruptive and do you need scaffolding?
Leadwork itself is fairly contained, as we are working on specific joints rather than stripping the whole roof. Scaffolding or an access tower is often needed for safe working at height, especially on chimneys and valleys, and we will note that in your quote. Inside the property there is usually little to no disruption, and we clear all offcuts and debris before we leave.
