Stop water getting in where your roof is weakest
Lead flashing does a tough job. It seals the joints around chimneys, walls, and roof edges where rain loves to sneak through. When that flashing cracks, lifts, or splits, water can start staining ceilings, damaging timbers, and causing bigger repair bills than you bargained for. We carry out lead flashing repairs, dealing with worn sections before a small leak turns into a proper headache.
MCP Roofing works on homes, business premises, and rental properties, so we understand the need for a fix that’s tidy, secure, and built to last. With over a year of roofing experience behind our service, we know what to look for, and we get straight to the point. Get in touch for more information.
Fixes that fit the issue, not speculation
Loose flashing around a chimney needs a different fix from lead that has split along a roof junction. We check how the lead has failed, look at the surrounding tiles or slates, and repair the area in a way that makes sense for the roof in front of you. This is important for older properties because weathering and movement can leave multiple weak spots near one another.
We also deal with related problems, like repointing around chimneys if the leak is caused by failing mortar. The practical approach helps you avoid patching one symptom while the real problem keeps letting water in.
Why repairs for lead flashing are essential
Water rarely needs a big gap to cause trouble. Once flashing starts to fail, moisture can track into places you can't see straight away. Our repairs help protect your roof timbers, internal plaster and the edges where different parts of the roof meet. Good leadwork also allows for natural movement from changing weather, which helps prevent the same area from opening up again too soon. We carry out these repairs with full insurance in place, giving you extra peace of mind while the work is underway.
