Lead Flashings, Valleys & Lead Roofs
Most roof leaks start at a joint rather than in the middle of the tiles. Wherever the roof meets a chimney, wall, dormer or another slope, lead directs the water away. It is long-lasting, soft enough to shape around any junction and copes with movement when fitted in sensible lengths, which is why it remains the trusted choice.
When lead cracks, lifts or works loose from the mortar joint, rain finds its way straight in. Steadfast fits and repairs leadwork on domestic and commercial roofs across Maidstone, Kent and South East London, dressing the lead on site so it follows the shape of your roof.
A free drone roof inspection helps assess the condition of your roof and identify potential issues, and you receive a free, no-obligation quote for the work. Flashings are tucked into the brickwork and pointed in, valleys are lined to run off cleanly, and the site is cleared once the lead is finished.

Signs You Need New Leadwork
Leaks Beside a Chimney
Staining on the chimney breast or ceiling below the stack often comes from flashing that has split.
Cracked or Lifted Lead
Lead that has been fixed in overlong pieces can crack as it expands and contracts, and wind can lift loose edges.
Water Along a Valley
Where two roof slopes meet, a worn or blocked valley channels a large volume of water into the roof.
Lead Has Been Stolen
Missing flashing leaves joints completely open, so replacing it quickly stops water damage inside.

FREE, No-Obligation Quotes. Your quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, so you can make an informed decision about your property.
Amount of Lead Needed
Long valleys and large flashings use more sheet than a short run around a small stack.
Complexity of the Shape
Lead dressed around bays, dormers and intricate junctions takes longer to form by hand.
Access to the Area
Chimneys and high roofs usually need scaffolding, while low extensions can often be reached more easily.
Surrounding Repairs
Broken tiles or rotten timber found when the old lead is lifted add to the work involved.

Fixing & Pointing In
Flashings are wedged into the brickwork joint and pointed, and the surrounding tiles are relaid over the finished lead.
