Professional leadwork repairs for homes in Ashford
High class roofing provides specialist leadwork repairs to ensure your property in Ashford remains fully protected against water ingress. Based in nearby Datchet, we serve homeowners across the 15-mile radius, including Ashford, with a focus on restoring the integrity of essential roof details. Jimmy Frankham and his team understand how critical sound leadwork is to preventing damp from reaching your roof timbers and interior ceilings, whether you live in a period terrace or a modern family home.
Diagnosing common lead flashing and valley failures
Lead is a remarkably durable material, but it does not last forever. In Ashford, we frequently see issues such as perished step flashings around chimney stacks, cracking along lead valleys, and leaks in box gutters caused by thermal expansion or long-term exposure to the elements. Often, water ingress is traced back to old, brittle mortar or lead that has simply pulled away from the brickwork. Our diagnostic approach involves checking the entire junction to ensure we catch every point of potential failure before permanent damage occurs.

We pride ourselves on using high-quality materials, specifically Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead, which we expertly dress to fit the precise contours of your roof. Whether we are replacing complex lead valley systems or installing new apron flashings at the base of a chimney, our work adheres to traditional installation standards. We avoid quick fixes in favour of properly dressed, overlapping leadwork that allows for natural movement, ensuring your repairs withstand the variable weather of the Thames Valley.

If you notice staining on your internal ceilings near a chimney or signs of damp in the loft, it is possible your flashings have failed. Visible gaps between the lead and the brickwork, or tears in the lead itself, are clear indicators that repairs are overdue. Sometimes, the issue is not the lead itself but the aging mortar pointing that holds the flashing into the brick. If you spot these signs, it is better to address them sooner rather than later to prevent rot from setting into the surrounding roof structure.
