Lead Works & Flashing

Lead has been one of the most trusted materials in roofing for centuries, thanks to its excellent sealing properties and versatility. Ideal for creating watertight joints, lead is commonly used around chimneys, roof valleys, vents, and other vulnerable areas where water ingress can occur.

Not only is lead extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, but its flexibility also makes it perfect for complex or irregular roof structures. This ensures a secure, long-lasting seal that provides outstanding weather protection in all conditions.

At Capital Roofing Group Ltd, we specialise in all aspects of lead roofing, from small lead flashing repairs to full leadwork installations and replacements. Our skilled roofers have years of experience working with lead, delivering precise workmanship and bespoke solutions tailored to each property.

Different Types of Lead Works & Flashing

Continuous Flashing / Apron Flashing – Used along the length of a sloped roof to protect the joint where the roof meets a vertical wall.
Chimney Flashing – Ensures a watertight seal around chimneys to prevent leaks.
Counter Flashing – Installed opposite or above base flashing to direct water away from the joint.
Step Flashing – Applied where a sloped roof meets a vertical surface, with individual pieces layered for maximum protection.
Skylight Flashing – Provides a secure, weatherproof seal around skylights.
Valley Flashing – Protects the roof valleys where two roof slopes meet, directing water away efficiently.
Drip Edges – Installed along roof edges to guide water into the gutters and prevent underlayment damage.
Kickout Flashing – Directs water away from the intersection of the roof and a wall to prevent moisture damage.
