Professional leadwork repairs for Bracknell homes
High class roofing provides professional leadwork services to ensure your home in Bracknell remains fully watertight. Based in nearby Datchet and covering a 15-mile radius, Jimmy Frankham and his team specialise in the diagnostic and remedial work required for critical roof junctions. We focus on addressing common failure points such as perished chimney flashings, cracked lead valleys, and leaking box gutters that often plague both period Victorian properties and modern housing stock throughout the Bracknell Forest area.
Why leadwork maintenance is essential for your roof
Lead is a traditional material favoured for its longevity, but it is not immune to the elements. Over time, constant thermal expansion and contraction can cause lead to crack, while aging mortar around step flashings often breaks down, allowing water to track behind the lead and into your roof timbers. If left unaddressed, this leads to damp patches on internal ceilings and potential rot in your structure. Our team identifies these weaknesses early, ensuring that your roof flashing remains secure and weather-tight against the challenging British climate.

01256 639416How do you know if your leadwork needs repair?
You may notice signs of water ingress near chimney stacks, evidence of slipped or loose lead slates, or dampness appearing in loft spaces after heavy rainfall. If you spot debris in your gutters, such as small pieces of lead or crumbling mortar, it is often a sign that your flashings are failing. We provide a thorough inspection to determine whether a minor re-dressing of existing lead is sufficient or if a more permanent replacement is required to resolve the leak effectively and prevent further damage to your home.
