Lead Flashings & Valleys roofing in Esher

KT10Elmbridge

Lead does the unglamorous work that decides whether a pitched roof stays sound 30 years or 80 — chimneys, valleys, parapet abutments, bay-window aprons. While Esher's stock is mostly clay plain tile, we fit and repair lead flashings regularly here — usually on extensions, dormers or specified upgrades.

What goes wrong with lead flashings here

  • Splits at bay-roof aprons from thermal movement on long pieces
  • Mortar pointing failing above stepped flashings
  • Cheap flashband used in place of properly specified lead

Our approach: We use Code 4 minimum, lap pieces to allow movement, and chase flashings into a proper mortar joint rather than relying on mastic alone.
