Why Wimbledon homes use lead flashings
Chimney stacks, valleys between roof slopes, abutments to brickwork, bay-window apron flashings. We reach Wimbledon in around 12 km from our Hampton base, so material delivery and survey scheduling are straightforward here.
Where lead flashings fails — and how we fix it in SW19
- 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.
