Roof flashing leaking?
If your lead flashing is doing any of these, call us
Lead flashing seals the joints where a roof meets a chimney, wall or valley, and it’s where most roofs spring a leak. A cracked lead flashing repair is a quick job for a specialist but a slow disaster if it’s left. If you recognise any of these, pick up the phone.
Cracked lead flashing
The lead has split or cracked with age and rain is tracking in behind it.
We cut out and replace the failed lead, or re-dress it, and seal it properly.
Lifted or slipped flashing
The flashing has pulled away from the wall or chimney and lost its seal.
We re-dress and re-fix the lead into the joint so it sheds water again.
Leaking chimney flashing
Damp is showing on the chimney breast or ceiling below the stack.
We strip and renew the chimney flashing and soakers to stop the leak at source.
Failed pointing & lead
The mortar holding the flashing has crumbled and the lead has dropped.
We rake out, re-dress the lead and re-point the flashing line cleanly.
A botched previous repair
Someone smeared sealant or flashband over it and it’s leaking again.
We remove the bodge and carry out a proper lead repair that actually lasts.
Valley or abutment leak
Water is getting in where two roofs meet or a roof meets a wall.
We renew the valley or abutment flashing and water-test it on completion.
Don’t let it track in further
A leaking flashing today is a stained ceiling tomorrow
Water getting behind the lead doesn’t stop on its own, it rots timber and ruins plaster. Pick up the phone and we’ll trace it and seal it properly.

The right approach
We trace the flashing leak, then fix it properly
A roof flashing leak rarely shows where it gets in, water runs along the lead and timbers before it drips inside. We find the actual failure first, whether it’s the chimney, an abutment or a valley, then carry out a proper lead repair that lasts.
Lead is a craft material and it needs working properly, dressed into the joint, fixed and sealed so it moves with the roof instead of cracking. We cut out failed sections, re-dress or renew the lead, and re-point the flashing line cleanly. No smear of sealant or strip of flashband over the top.
As Icopal-approved contractors, every lead flashing repair is carried out to the same standard as a full installation. Photo records are taken before, during and after, ideal if you need to make an insurance claim.
- Real source traced, not just the visible damp patch
- Lead cut out, re-dressed or renewed, never bodged
- Flashing line re-pointed and sealed cleanly
- Water-tested and guaranteed in writing

What you get
Why Sussex homeowners trust us with their lead work
Proper lead work, not a bodge
Most flashing leaks we’re called to were last ‘fixed’ with a smear of sealant or a strip of flashband. We do it the right way, dressing and renewing the lead so the joint stays watertight for years, not months.
