How we approach it
Inspect
We check the flashing, the mortar, and the surrounding tiles or slates to find where water is getting past.
Repair
Failed lead is replaced or re-dressed, joints re-pointed and sealed, and fixings made good.
Verify
We check related junctions so the same leak doesn't reappear from a neighbouring detail.
Leadwork & Flashing in Newton Abbot — your questions answered
Why does flashing fail?
Lead expands and contracts with temperature; over decades this can crack it, and wind can lift poorly-fixed lengths. Mortar pointing around it also weathers and fails. All of these let water in and are repairable.
Is my chimney leak the flashing?
Very often, yes — chimney junctions are one of the most common leak points on a roof. We'll confirm whether it's the flashing, the pointing, or something else before repairing.
Do you re-lead whole valleys?
Yes — where a valley's lead has failed, we can replace the full run rather than patch it, which is usually the lasting fix.
