Lead Flashings
We design, repair and install lead flashings that provide reliable weather protection, precise detailing and long term performance across domestic, commercial and heritage buildings.
Lead flashings are one of the most critical elements of a building’s weatherproofing system. Correctly detailed and installed flashings protect vulnerable junctions, accommodate thermal movement and prevent water ingress. At Lead It Be, we specialise in traditional and modern lead flashing solutions, ensuring every junction is detailed to perform effectively while maintaining a clean and refined appearance.
Traditional Craftsmanship for Lead Flashing Details
Our craftsmen are highly experienced in forming and installing all types of lead flashings, including stepped, apron, cover, secret and soaker flashings. Each detail is carefully considered to suit the building fabric, roof covering and exposure, ensuring both durability and visual consistency.
We undertake lead flashing works across a wide range of building types, from private homes to large commercial developments and listed buildings. On heritage projects, we work sensitively to match traditional detailing and materials while improving performance through best practice installation.
Lead flashings often sit at complex junctions where roofs meet walls, chimneys, dormers and parapets. We focus on accurate setting out, correct lap dimensions and secure fixings to ensure reliable weathering and compatibility with adjacent materials.
Where existing flashings have failed, we carry out careful repairs or full replacements as required. Our approach prioritises long term solutions rather than temporary fixes, addressing underlying issues such as incorrect detailing, movement or substrate condition.
All lead flashing works are carried out in accordance with current Lead Sheet Association recommendations and industry best practice. Our work is fully insured and supported by long term insurance backed guarantees, providing confidence in quality and longevity.
