It's dressed to shape on site so water is guided away from the gap. ### Who it's for Homeowners and commercial property owners across Newcastle, Morpeth, Ponteland, Blyth and Northumberland with leaks around chimneys, walls, dormers or valleys, or with old lead work that's split, lifted or gone missing. ### When it's needed Get your lead work checked if you have damp next to a chimney or along a wall below the roof, if lead looks split, lifted or loose from the ground, or if any lead has gone missing. ### Why use a professional roofer Lead needs to be cut, shaped and fixed correctly to allow for expansion and contraction. Poorly fitted lead splits or pulls out of the wall, and the leak comes back. Experienced roofers know how to dress it to last. The cost of waiting ## What happens if it's ignored Small failures in lead work cause some of the most stubborn roof leaks. ### Leaks at chimneys and walls Water runs down the face of a chimney or wall and gets in where the flashing has failed. ### Hidden timber damage Water entering at valleys and joins soaks the timbers beneath, often unseen until it's serious. ### Splitting lead Lead fitted in pieces that are too long can split with temperature changes, opening a gap. ### Missing lead Lead that has been removed or blown loose leaves an open path for water. ### Common mistakes to avoid - ✕Replacing lead with mastic or sealant that cracks within a season or two. - ✕Patching a split with tape instead of renewing the section. - ✕Repointing a chimney without checking the flashings. - ✕Assuming a leak by a chimney is the chimney itself, when it's the lead.

In detail ## Lead Work explained ### Chimney and abutment flashings Where a roof meets a chimney or a wall, a stepped or straight flashing is chased into the masonry and dressed down over the roof covering. Underneath, soakers may be fitted between slates or tiles. Together they stop water running into the join. ### Lead valleys A valley is where two roof slopes meet in an internal corner. It carries a lot of water, so a lead-lined valley needs to be correctly sized and fixed. Damaged or undersized valleys are a common cause of leaks on older roofs. ### Dormers, bays and other details Dormer cheeks and tops, bay window roofs and skylights all rely on lead to seal their edges. We renew lead in these areas as part of repairs or new roofs, on homes and commercial buildings alike.

Properly fitted lead is the lasting fix. ### My leak is next to the chimney. Is it the lead? +Often, but not always. It can also be the chimney masonry.
