It’s often used around chimneys, valleys, roof edges, and joints where water is more likely to cause problems. If lead flashing is cracked, split, or coming loose, it can lead to leaks and damage inside the home.

Where We Use Lead Welding

Lead welding is used in key areas of the roof where water needs to be kept out for good. It’s strong, long-lasting, and ideal for making a neat, sealed finish around tricky spots. We often use lead welding in places like:

Around chimneys
In roof valleys
Along dormers and skylights
On parapet walls
Where flat roofs meet walls
At joints and corners

If the lead in these areas is damaged or missing, it’s best to get it sorted before water finds its way in.

Signs Your Leadwork Needs Attention

Leadwork is built to last, but over time it can start to wear down, especially with heavy weather or poor fitting. If it’s not doing its job properly, water can start to creep in and cause damage. Here are a few signs to look out for:

  • Water stains on ceilings or walls
  • Visible splits or cracks in the lead
  • Loose or lifted flashing
  • Damp patches near chimneys or roof joints
  • Lead that’s sagging or not sitting flat

If you’ve spotted any of these, it’s best to get things looked at sooner rather than later. We’re happy to pop over and give it a proper check.
