Chimney Flashing
Lead aprons, step flashing, soakers and back gutters repaired or replaced around chimney stacks.
- Apron flashing
- Step flashing
- Back gutters
Blue Hawk Roofing Ltd repairs and replaces leadwork across the areas we cover. We deal with chimney flashing, step flashing, lead soakers, aprons, back gutters, valleys, roof abutments, bay roof leadwork and awkward junctions where rainwater needs directing properly.
Failed aprons, step flashing, soakers or back gutters can let water track inside.
Leadwork needs to be dressed and chased properly where tiles meet brickwork.
Worn or split valley lead can leak fast because it carries a lot of rainwater.
Old lead can crack, lift, split or fail at fixings if it was fitted badly or has aged.
Lead is used where roof surfaces meet walls, chimneys, valleys and edges. When it is split, short, poorly chased, badly dressed or lifting away, water can get behind it and travel before it shows indoors.
Blue Hawk Roofing checks the whole detail: lead laps, cover, fixings, mortar chase, soakers, aprons, back gutters, valley channels and surrounding tiles. The aim is to put the water back where it belongs, down the roof and into the gutter.

Good leadwork is neat, correctly lapped and built for water movement. Bad leadwork is one of the fastest ways to end up with repeat leaks.
