Lead Flashings & Valleys roofing in Oxshott

KT22Elmbridge

Lead does the unglamorous the work that decides whether a pitched slope lasts 30 years or 80 — chimneys, valleys, parapet abutments, bay-window aprons. Lead flashings is a specified choice in Oxshott rather than the default — we see it most on rear extensions and modern infill.

Where lead flashings fails — and how we fix it in KT22

  • 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.

Typical local stock: oversized detached homes (often rebuilds) on private wooded plots — typically 1,500-3,500 sqm grounds
Common roof coverings: hand-made clay tile, natural slate, increasingly zinc and standing-seam metal on contemporary rebuilds
Planning: Most of Oxshott is in the Green Belt, with the Heath as Metropolitan Open Land — replacement-house planning is tightly controlled.

Lead flashings roof — a quiet side street, Oxshott

over the summer we handled a lead flashings roof on a residential side road: wrapped up ahead of schedule with a tidy site at the end of each day.

Lead flashings roof — a tree-lined road, Oxshott

in the new year we handled a lead flashings roof on a quiet side street: completed in two working days with no return visits.

Getting to Oxshott

Access into KT22 is usually A3 trunk; we plan deliveries around Cobham High Street traffic so material drops land before the day gets busy.

What is different about KT22

Drainage is the quiet issue here. Undersized outlets and shared downpipes between early 20th-century lodge houses on Warren Lane, 1970s-90s gated rebuilds, and a limited number of recent contemporary modern-builds houses in and around Oxshott Heath 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 KT22 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 Oxshott. Deliveries land easiest before the Oxshott Station traffic builds, so we book material drops early and keep the lead flashings & valleys scaffold time as short as the piece of workmanship allows.

  • Emergency make-safe available if the weather turns first
  • Advice on repair versus replace, honestly given
  • Skip or grab-away arranged in line with Elmbridge rules
  • Site left clean at the end of every day in Oxshott
