Lead Flashing Repair & Replacement

Stop leaks at the source with expert lead flashing

About Our Lead Flashing Service

Lead flashing is the watertight seal between your roof covering and any vertical surface — chimneys, dormers, walls, and extensions. When lead flashing fails, water quickly finds its way into the structure, causing damp, rot, and potentially serious damage. Reliable Roofing carries out lead flashing repairs and replacements across Coventry and the surrounding areas.

We use traditional leadworking techniques and Code 4 or Code 5 lead depending on the application, ensuring a durable, long-lasting weatherproof seal that should last 50+ years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my flashing has failed?

Water stains on ceilings near chimneys or dormer windows are the most common sign. You may also see lifted, cracked or missing lead from ground level.

What is the difference between Code 4 and Code 5 lead?

Code numbers refer to lead thickness. Code 4 is used for step and cover flashings; Code 5 is used for more exposed applications like soakers and chimney back gutters.

Can lead flashing be repaired rather than replaced?

Minor splits can sometimes be sealed with lead repair products. However, if the lead has moved significantly or is very old, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.

Are there alternatives to lead flashing?

Yes — Lead Replacement Tape (LRT) and other products are available for certain applications. We will advise on the best solution for your situation.
