Lead Flashing Repairs in Rochdale
Lead flashing around chimneys and walls needs sound joints and enough room to expand and contract.
Look at folds and corners
Small splits often appear where lead has been bent tightly or fixed too rigidly.
Check the mortar above
Rain can get behind otherwise good leadwork if the joint holding its upper edge has opened.
Old sealant can hide the real condition
A temporary coating may stop water for a while, but thick layers of mastic or bitumen make the original lead detail harder to inspect.
