Chimney & Valley Lead

Lead flashings on older roofs in Redditch can split, creep or pull free of the mortar joints that hold them. Regent Roofing takes out the failed lead and fits new flashings, soakers or valley linings, each one dressed tight to the tiles and brickwork.

As well as Redditch, lead flashings and valleys are renewed across Bromsgrove, Droitwich Spa and Kidderminster, working from Burcot.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Regent for Leadwork

In Redditch, every flashing is cut and dressed on site to the junction it covers, so rain is carried onto the tiles rather than behind them.

Lead work dressed around a roof detail

Dressed to Fit the Roof

Each flashing is shaped on site to the tiles and brickwork it meets, so there are no gaps for rain to blow into.

No Sealant Shortcuts

Failed lead is replaced with new sheet lead rather than covered over with mastic or flashing tape.

Chimney Junctions

Flashings, soakers and back gutters around a stack are renewed together as one watertight set.

Tiles Made Good

Tiles lifted to reach the soakers or valley are refixed or replaced to match the rest of the roof.

What Is the Difference Between Step & Apron Flashing?

Step flashing runs up the sloping sides of a chimney or wall in a series of steps, each tucked into a mortar joint. Apron flashing is a single piece across the lower face of the stack, dressed down over the tiles. Most chimneys need both, along with soakers under the tiles at the sides.

What Are Lead Soakers?

Soakers are small pieces of lead slipped in between each course of tiles where a slope meets a wall or chimney, with the step flashing covering them from above. If soakers are missing or worn through, water runs down beside the tiles even when the flashing looks fine.

Can Lead Flashing Be Repaired with Sealant?

Sealant or flashing tape can hold back water for a short time, but it cracks and peels as the lead moves with the weather. Where flashing has split or lifted, replacing it with new lead is the lasting answer.

Why Is My Roof Valley Leaking?

A lead valley can split along its length, or lengths laid too long can pull apart as they expand and contract. Leaves and moss collecting in the valley also push water up under the tiles. Relining it in new lead stops the leak where it starts.
