If your roof has started leaking in areas where the roof meets a protrusion, it could be an issue with the flashing. We advise you to get it checked over as soon as possible as saturated brickwork and water ingress will lead to internal damp issues.
The experienced team at Trusted Roofers Ipswich will inspect your flashing, highlight any issues and get the problem sorted, saving your home from any further potential water damage.
What to expect from Trusted Roofers Ipswich
Flashing Repairs
Lead flashing does a very good job at keeping your roof water tight, but over time some lead can start to split and crack, letting water through and causing potential damage.
Our team of friendly roofers have the skills and experience to quickly and efficiently repair or replace your flashing, keeping your home safe from the weather.
We have our own cherry pickers and mobile platforms, which enables us to save you money by not hiring scaffolding when carrying out lead flashing repair work.
FAQs about our Ipswich Flashing Repair service
If the lead flashing is being welded, a small area can be repaired in an hour or so. If the job requires the lead to be re-concreted in place or replaced altogether, it can take over a day, depending on the amount of lead being worked with.
Lead is one of the oldest building materials still in use today, mainly due to it's longevity. Most issues with lead flashing are more likely to be down to poor installation that bad lead. However, if the lead is particularly thin, it can suffer from splits and cracks due to weathering. Properly installed lead work will last the lifetime of the building.
The cost varies, depending on how thick the lead is, the difficulty of the job and any access issues. As an example, a standard lead apron around a chimney would typically cost £350-500 if we can get access with our mobile lifting platforms. There will be extra fees if scaffolding is required.
There are products available that can be used instead of lead, such as Ubiflex or FormFlash, which do a great job at keeping the water out, however they won't last nearly as long as genuine lead.
