Where lead flashings fails — and how we fix it in W6

  • Cheap flashband used in place of properly specified lead
  • Lead theft on accessible single-storey roofs
  • Splits at bay-roof aprons from thermal movement on long pieces

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

What is different about W6

Undersized outlets and shared downpipes between mixed commercial and residential stock around the Broadway houses in and around Hammersmith Broadway push moisture where it was never meant to go, so we confirm the rainwater route as part of any lead flashings & valleys itemised estimate.

A fair few W6 roofs have been patched by someone else first. On lead flashings & valleys workmanship we lift and look rather than seal over the last resolve, then tell you plainly what is worth saving.

Timing is worth planning in Hammersmith Broadway. Deliveries land easiest before the Lyric Theatre traffic builds, so we book material drops early and keep the lead flashings & valleys scaffold time as short as the piece of workmanship allows.
