Lead flashing is an important part of a roof’s weatherproofing system. It creates a protective seal around vulnerable junctions, helping prevent rainwater from entering where roofing materials meet walls, chimneys, roof valleys and other structures. When flashing becomes damaged, loose or worn, water can find its way beneath the roof covering and cause problems inside…
A commercial roof plays a vital role in keeping a building secure, dry and suitable for everyday use. When it develops a defect, the problem may initially appear minor.

Leadwork is a critical component of many roofing systems, particularly around areas where different parts of the roof meet, such as chimneys, valleys and junctions. Its role is to create a watertight seal and protect vulnerable points from water ingress. When leadwork begins to deteriorate, it can compromise the entire roof if left untreated. For…
