Frequently Asked Questions
How long does lead flashing last?
Properly installed lead flashing can last 100 years or more. Lead is one of the most durable roofing materials available.
Can you replace lead flashing without disturbing the tiles?
In many cases, yes. We can carefully lift surrounding tiles, fit new lead, and re-lay the tiles without damage.
Why is my lead flashing leaking?
Common causes include cracked lead, failed mortar pointing where the lead meets the wall, thermal movement splits, or incorrect installation.
