New Roofs

Leadwork in Woking & Surrey

Most roof leaks start where the roof meets something else, a chimney, a wall, a valley or a bay. Getting the lead right at these joints is what keeps a roof watertight, and it is a craft in its own right.

We use the correct code of lead for each detail, cut to sensible bay sizes so it does not split, and dress it in properly. Whether it is a new chimney flashing or a full lead valley, the work is done to last.

  • Chimney flashings, soakers and back gutters
  • Lead lined valleys
  • Bay and porch roof leadwork
  • Correct lead code for each detail
  • Patination oil finish to protect the new lead
Leadwork project by Avid Roofing

How it works

Simple, from first call to finished job

  1. 1

    Survey the detail

    We look at where the water is getting in and how the joint is built.

  2. 2

    Form the lead

    The right code of lead is cut and dressed to the correct bay sizes.

  3. 3

    Fit and finish

    The lead is fixed, pointed where needed and treated with patination oil.

Fair, clear pricing

What affects the price

Every roof is different, so we quote each job on its own. These are the main things that shape the price, and we will explain exactly how they apply to yours.

  • The type and size of the detail
  • The code and quantity of lead needed
  • Access to the area
  • Any related tile or mortar repairs

You get a clear, fixed price before any work starts.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Why has my old lead flashing failed?

Old flashings often crack where the bays were made too long, or the pointing holding them into the wall has crumbled. We renew the lead and re-point the chase so it stays put.

Do you paint the new lead?

We finish new lead with patination oil, which stops the white staining that fresh lead can leave running down tiles and render.

Can you repair just the flashing rather than the whole roof?

Often yes. If the tiles are sound and only the lead has failed, we renew the flashing on its own. If the leak has been running for a while we check the timbers underneath before we sign it off.

How long does lead flashing last?

Lead is one of the longest lasting roofing materials, and correctly sized and dressed leadwork can last for decades. Most failures come from lead made in bays that were too long, or from pointing that has crumbled, both of which we put right.
