Signs Your Flashing Needs Attention

Is a Leak Coming From a Junction?

Failed flashing is one of the most common causes of a roof leak that has nothing to do with the tiles themselves.

01

Lead lifting away from the wall

Visible gaps where lead has pulled away from brickwork or render let water straight in behind the flashing.

02

Cracked or split lead sheet

Decades of thermal movement can cause lead to crack or "creep," especially on older or poorly detailed installations.

03

Missing sections of lead

Whether from storm damage or theft, a missing flashing section needs urgent temporary cover as well as permanent repair.

04

Damp patch near a chimney or wall

Staining near a junction is often flashing, though it can also be the masonry itself — worth confirming which before repairing either.

What We Fix

Leadwork & Flashing Services, Fixed Price

Every junction on a roof needs its own flashing detail — every job priced upfront, no site visit required for straightforward work.

Most Common

Chimney Flashing

Repairing or replacing the stepped and apron lead flashing where a chimney meets the roof — the single most common source of chimney-area leaks.

Valleys

Valley Flashing

Repairing or renewing lead valley linings, which carry a large volume of water and take heavy wear over time.

Abutments

Abutment & Wall Flashing

Repairing flashing where a roof abuts a wall or parapet — a common failure point on extensions and side-return roofs.

Theft & Storm

Replacing Stolen or Missing Lead

Fast replacement of stolen or storm-damaged lead, with the option to discuss lead alternatives or anti-theft security clips to reduce the risk of it happening again.

Local Knowledge

Leadwork & Flashing on Croydon's Building Stock

Croydon’s property types shape the most common flashing jobs here.

Chimney Junctions

Shared Stacks in Addiscombe & Thornton Heath

Many terraces here have chimney stacks shared across the party wall, so flashing repairs often mean coordinating access with a neighbour.

Large Flat Roof Abutments

High-Rise & Commercial Buildings

Large-scale flashing at abutments and parapets on tower blocks and commercial premises is a genuinely different scale of work to a residential chimney.

Ageing Lead

South Croydon's Period Villas

Older Victorian villas often have original lead flashing now due replacement at valleys and abutments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Leadwork & Flashing in Croydon, Answered

Both are common causes of damp near a chimney and they need different fixes — failed lead flashing lets water in at the roof junction, while porous brickwork or failed mortar lets water through the masonry itself. We check both when we look at it. If it turns out to be the masonry, see our Chimney Repair & Repointing page.

 
 

Lead expands and contracts with temperature, and over decades this movement — known as "creep" — can crack it or work it loose from the wall. Poor original installation accelerates this significantly, which is why quality of fitting matters as much as the material itself.

 

Yes, unfortunately this is something we deal with regularly. We can replace missing lead quickly, and discuss options like anti-theft security clips or lead-alternative materials that make a repeat theft less likely.

 
 

Genuine lead is the traditional standard and extremely durable, but its scrap value makes it a theft target. Modern alternatives look similar and perform well for most applications, at a lower cost and with no scrap value to attract thieves — worth discussing if theft is a concern for your property.

 

A localised repair to one section is usually completed the same day. Larger jobs like a full valley or chimney flashing replacement typically take a day.
