Leadwork in Farnham, Farnborough, Godalming and Haslemere
Services Available in Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey
Leadwork is a part of a wider roofing service, undertaken remedially as part of an installation, repair or replacement project, or on a standalone basis. Lead flashing keeps a roof watertight by sealing around the joints and preventing moisture ingress. This protects the loft space and the interior from structural damage, and from issues related to mould, mildew and rot that compromise a roof’s integrity.

What is Leadwork?
Leadwork is a term that relates to the installation and maintenance of lead flashing, typically on pitched roofing structures but some flat roofs also have leadwork fitted. Lead flashing seals the joints of the roof, chimney, parapet walls and, if installed, skylights. It also diverts water away from the property to protect the façade.
When leadwork fails, moisture seeps into the build and, if the issue isn’t rectified, dampness sets in and causes the timber to rot.
The roofers at Rosam Roofing Ltd are vastly experienced in all forms of leadwork and can replace worn flashing to restore the property’s condition. Lead flashing is strong, and it has a style and a visual appeal that makes it perfect for creating a watertight barrier.
Leadwork can also improve sound and thermal insulation.
Dealing with Leadwork Issues
It is important to remember that, in addition to its waterproofing qualities, lead flashing is still a part of the roofing structure. It is extremely resistant to corrosion but, after years of exposure to the weather, deterioration is to be expected. When the condition of leadwork worsens, it becomes less effective and needs replacing.
As one of the most dependable roofing companies in the region, the use of flashing from high-profile manufacturers comes as standard.
