Local leadwork and roof repair specialists based in Datchet, providing expert chimney flashings, valley gutter renewals, and precision weatherproofing across Windsor and Maidenhead.
Professional leadwork repairs for Windsor properties
High class roofing provides essential leadwork repair services to protect your home from water ingress. Based in nearby Datchet and serving Windsor, we understand the specific needs of local housing, from the decorative box valleys on Victorian villas to the modern flashing details on suburban extensions. Lead remains the gold standard for weatherproofing, but it requires precise installation to handle the expansion and contraction caused by our local weather. If your leadwork has failed, we provide durable solutions that keep your roof watertight.
Common lead failures in Windsor roofs
Even the best leadwork has a lifespan, and in the historic streets of Windsor, we frequently see issues such as perished chimney flashings, cracked lead valleys, and splitting at joints. Lead is prone to fatigue over time, especially where it is not correctly dressed or if it was initially installed using incorrect gauges. We trace water ingress to its true source, assessing whether the issue is simple cracking in the lead or the breakdown of the mortar pointing around the chimney stack, which often goes hand in hand with flashing failure.

Our technical approach to lead dressing and replacement
Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. We utilise high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead to ensure the perfect thickness for your specific application. Whether we are renewing lead step flashings against a brickwork chimney or relining a lead box valley, we ensure the lead is correctly dressed to prevent wind lift and to allow for the natural thermal movement of the metal. By using traditional methods combined with modern understanding of roof drainage, we ensure that every repair meets the standard expected for high-quality roofing.

01256 639416Why is my roof leaking near the chimney?
A common cause of leaks around chimney stacks is the degradation of the lead aprons and step flashings. Over time, the mortar that holds the lead into the brickwork can crumble, or the lead itself can become brittle and crack due to repeated exposure to the elements. If you notice damp patches appearing on your chimney breast inside the home, it is often a sign that the external leadwork has failed and is no longer shedding rainwater away from the roof junction. Prompt attention to these details prevents the moisture from rotting your roof timbers and damaging your interior ceilings.
