Lead Flashing Replacement & Repair in Plymouth

Fixing leadwork isn't a job for a general builder; it’s a specialist skill that demands precision and an understanding of how roofs work. With over 30 years of hands-on roofing experience, our team has the knowledge to do the work properly, the first time. We use the correct code of lead for the job, ensuring it’s durable and fit for purpose. As a fully insured, registered company (No: 16264372), you can have complete peace of mind when our team is on your property. We pride ourselves on our great service, honest information, and the amazing quality of our finished work.

The cost depends on the location and amount of lead that needs replacing. A small repair will naturally cost less than replacing all the flashing around a large chimney stack. We provide a free, no-obligation roof inspection where we’ll assess the work required and give you a clear, detailed quotation with no hidden charges.

When installed correctly by a skilled roofer using high-quality materials, new leadwork can last for over 60 years. It is one of the most durable and long-lasting materials available for roofing, providing fantastic value over its lifetime.

Sometimes, a small split or hole can be repaired using a technique called lead welding. However, if the lead is old, thin, and brittle, a repair is only a temporary fix. In most cases, replacing the section with new lead is the best long-term solution to prevent future problems. We will always give you honest advice on the best course of action.

The most obvious sign is a water stain on an internal ceiling or wall, especially near a chimney. From the outside, look for any visible cracks, holes, or sections of lead that are lifting or peeling away from the roof or brickwork. If you are worried, it’s best to call for a professional inspection.
