GET A QUOTELead Work in Knott End on Sea
Most roof leaks trace back to the flashings rather than the tiles themselves. Where a roof meets a chimney, a wall or an adjoining slope, lead is the material that keeps the joint watertight. We handle the full range of leadwork across Knott End on Sea, from stepped and cover flashing on brickwork to lined valley gutters and bay window roofs. Failed, cracked or lifting lead is replaced with correctly sized code sheet, dressed and fixed to last.
What the work involves
A leadwork job starts with finding out why the existing lead has failed, whether that is age, oversized sheets, poor fixing or a cracked apron. We strip back the old lead and clean the mortar joint or roof surface beneath. New code 4 or code 5 sheet is cut to length, dressed to the roof profile and turned into a raked-out joint, then pointed up. Clips and wedges hold it in place, and lead-welded joints are used where sheets meet, keeping everything watertight.

Why use lead welding instead of solder or sealant on flashings?
We size lead to the exposure: code 4 is common for stepped and cover flashings, while code 5 is used for heavier duty details like valleys and aprons that take more water and wear. Where sheets join, we lead-weld the seam, which fuses the lead into one and outlasts soldered or sealant joints. Correct coding and welding are what stop cracking and give the flashing a long service life.
How much does lead flashing work cost?
The cost depends on how much lead is involved, the code of sheet needed, how accessible the area is and whether old lead has to be stripped out first. A single chimney flashing is a different job from lining a full valley gutter. We do not quote blind, so we offer a free survey of the roof and give you a clear written price before any work begins.
How long does a leadwork job take?
Most single flashing jobs, such as reflashing one chimney, are completed within a day. Larger work like a full valley gutter, a bay window roof or several flashings at once can take two or more days depending on access and weather. Lead has to be dressed and fixed carefully rather than rushed, so we give you a realistic timescale when we quote.
How do I know if my lead flashing needs replacing?
Common signs are damp patches on ceilings or walls near a chimney or where the roof meets brickwork, staining on the flashing itself, and lead that has cracked, split along a fold or lifted from its joint. White powdery deposits and sheets that flap in the wind are also giveaways. If you spot any of these, a survey will confirm whether the lead needs repairing or full replacement.
Will you need scaffolding to replace my lead flashing?
It is generally a tidy job. We concentrate on the flashing, valley or bay in question rather than disturbing the wider roof. For anything at height, particularly chimney stacks, we usually require scaffolding or a tower to work safely, which we include in the price. You are unlikely to notice much indoors, and we always clean up lead offcuts and rubbish afterwards.
