Lead Flashings & Valleys on TW9 roofs
Chimney stacks, valleys between roof surface slopes, abutments to brickwork, bay-window apron flashings. We reach Richmond in around 6 km from our Hampton base, so material delivery and survey scheduling are straightforward here.
Typical lead flashings defects in TW9
- Mortar pointing failing above stepped flashings
- Splits at bay-slope aprons from thermal movement on long pieces
- Lead theft on accessible single-storey roofs
Our approach: We use Code 4 minimum, lap pieces to allow movement, and chase flashings into a correct mortar joint rather than relying on mastic alone.

Neighbouring streets tell us a lot. Where we have already worked around Richmond Park, we know which roof types hide a felt-and-batten fault underneath and can warn you ahead of the scaffolding goes up.
Timing is worth planning in Richmond. Deliveries land easiest ahead of the Richmond Green traffic builds, so we book material drops early and keep the lead flashings & valleys scaffolding time as short as the callout allows.
Richmond sits close enough to the Thames for wind-driven rain and heavy autumn leaf fall to be a genuine factor. On lead flashings & valleys work here we spec extra mechanical fixing and larger outlets as standard.

Richmond — frequently asked
Do you fit lead flashings roofs in Richmond?
Yes — we cover lead flashings installation, repair and matching in TW9. Lead flashings is less dominant locally than Welsh slate, but we fit and repair it regularly.
How long does a lead flashings roof last in Richmond?
Service life is 60–100 years from properly fixed code-rated lead.. Riverside exposure in Richmond can shorten that a few years if details aren't right — wind and leaf debris are the main culprits, so expect the lower end of that range unless the install is best-practice.
What does lead flashings roofing cost in TW9?
Indicative supply-and-fit pricing: Code 4 from £55/m², Code 5 from £75/m² — usually quoted by linear meter on flashings.. Smaller localised repairs typically land in the £350–£1,500 range. Final price always depends on size, access and deck condition — we quote after a free on-site survey.
Can you match existing lead flashings on a Richmond repair?
Yes — we source matching profiles for repairs where the rest of the roof has life left in it. For older mixed Georgian stock we'll often salvage and re-use sound units to keep the colour and weathering consistent.
Do you handle the scaffold and waste removal in TW9?
All in. Scaffold, skip or tipper, permits and full clean-down are included in the written quote. You see one price, not a stack of add-ons.
