Leadwork & Flashing

Lead flashing split, lifted or letting water in?

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.

ChimneysWater around the stack

Failed aprons, step flashing, soakers or back gutters can let water track inside.

AbutmentsRoof meets wall

Leadwork needs to be dressed and chased properly where tiles meet brickwork.

ValleysWater flow matters

Worn or split valley lead can leak fast because it carries a lot of rainwater.

SplitsLead moves over time

Old lead can crack, lift, split or fail at fixings if it was fitted badly or has aged.

Roof Junctions

Leadwork is where a lot of roof leaks begin.

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.

Can you repair leaking lead flashing?

Yes. Blue Hawk Roofing checks the lead, chase, laps, surrounding tiles and where the water is tracking before advising on repair or replacement.

What are lead soakers?

Lead soakers are hidden pieces of lead used where tiles or slates meet a wall or chimney side. If they fail or are missing, water can track behind the visible flashing.

Can chimney flashing be replaced?

Yes. Chimney aprons, step flashing, soakers and back gutters can be repaired or replaced where the existing leadwork has failed.

Do lead valleys need maintenance?

Yes. Valleys carry a lot of rainwater, so blockages, splits, poor laps or damaged lead can quickly cause leaks.

Which areas do you cover for leadwork?

Southampton, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Fareham, Gosport, Bognor Regis, Winchester, Portsmouth, Waterlooville and Chichester.
