GET A QUOTELead Work in Longridge
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 Longridge 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
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.

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.
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.
Are you insured and do you guarantee the work?
Yes. KSB Roofing Solutions is fully insured for the roofing work we carry out, so your property is covered while we are on site. We stand behind our workmanship, and because we fix lead to the correct code and detail rather than relying on sealant, it is built to last. We are happy to talk through what our work covers when we provide your quote.
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.
