Professional Leadwork Repairs for Crowthorne Homes
High class roofing provides professional leadwork repairs to ensure your home remains watertight. Based in Datchet and serving Crowthorne and the surrounding 15-mile radius, Jimmy Frankham and his team address critical failure points like perished chimney flashings, cracked lead valleys, and leaking box gutters. We use high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead, expertly dressed to suit both historic Victorian properties and modern builds. Whether your roof has suffered from storm damage or general wear, our leadwork services prevent water ingress from damaging your roof timbers and ceilings.
Why Leadwork Failure Causes Internal Water Damage
Lead is the primary material used to waterproof the junctions where different planes of a roof meet, such as at chimney stacks and valley gutters. Over time, constant exposure to the Thames Valley climate leads to the expansion and contraction of the metal, which can result in cracking or the movement of fixings. If your step flashings have pulled away from the masonry or if the lead in your valley has developed fatigue splits, water will track behind the flashing and into your roof space. Identifying these issues early is essential for protecting your property from damp and structural rot.

We specialise in the full range of leadwork repairs, from simple re-dressing of loose flashings to complex lead valley replacement.

For chimney stacks in Crowthorne that show signs of mortar degradation or failing apron flashings, we can strip back the existing lead, assess the substrate, and install new Code 4 or Code 5 leadwork to restore the integrity of the stack. Our approach focuses on long-term durability rather than short-term patching.

Common signs that your leadwork is failing include visible staining on internal chimney breasts, damp patches on ceilings near the roof line, or loose pieces of metal visible from the ground. If you notice mortar crumbling away where the lead meets the brickwork, the flashing has likely lost its seal. During periods of heavy rainfall, an active leak near your chimney or valley is a clear sign that immediate roof leak repair is required. If you are unsure about the state of your roof, we can carry out a detailed inspection to confirm the source of the water ingress.
