Lead Flashing Repairs in Preston
Lead flashing is commonly used where a roof meets a wall or chimney. If it has been fitted properly, rain should run over it and back onto the roof.
Splits often follow stress
Long pieces, sharp folds and over-fixed sections are common places for fatigue.
Check the mortar joint above
Water can pass behind sound lead if the chase has opened.
Old coatings hide the detail
Bitumen and sealant may help temporarily, but repeated layers make later inspection more difficult.
Want the roof looked at?
Tell the roofer what you have seen and what the weather was like when it happened. If you can take a photograph safely from the ground, include one that shows the whole area of roof.
