Leadwork Services in Oldham

Flashing, valleys, and chimney leadwork are the most common places a roof actually leaks, more often than the tiles themselves. We install lead detailing built to outlast the roof around it.

When You Need Leadwork

A leak that traces back to a chimney, valley, or roof junction. Visibly cracked, lifted, or missing flashing around a chimney. Staining on a ceiling directly below a roof valley. An extension or dormer roof junction that's never been properly leaded.

How We Do It

We inspect all flashing, valleys, and roof junctions to trace the source of the leak. We remove failing or incorrectly fitted lead and prepare the junction properly. We install new lead flashing, valleys, or chimney detailing to a proper fall and fit. We test the junction and surrounding tiles before confirming the job is watertight.

What to Expect

Most leadwork repairs are completed within a day, larger valley or chimney leadwork can take a little longer depending on access.

Leadwork Services FAQs

Flashing and valleys are where two roof surfaces meet, and that junction takes the most water. Poor or aging lead is one of the most common leak sources we find.
Often yes, if the tiles themselves are sound and the issue is isolated to the leadwork, we repair just that section rather than recommending a full reroof.
Yes, chimney leadwork is one of our most common jobs, since chimneys are one of the highest-risk leak points on any roof.
We use lead for flashing, valleys, and chimney detailing, chosen for its durability and long lifespan compared to cheaper alternatives.
