Lead flashing repairs and replacement
Flashings seal the joins where your roof meets walls, chimneys and other structures. When they tear or don’t cover enough of the tiles, water gets straight in.

Two problems we find all the time
- Tears in lead soaker flashings. Lead installed in long lengths expands and contracts with the weather until it splits. Lead shouldn’t be run in lengths over 1.5 m including the lap.
- Step flashings that are too small and don’t cover enough of the tiles, leaving the roof exposed.
How we fix them
We replace failed lead with Wakaflex and a colour-steel compression trim. Wakaflex outperforms lead, comes in a range of colours and is cost effective. Where step flashings are too small we can often fit a Wakaflex soaker underneath to add cover. If they were set too low in the brickwork, the fix is new Wakaflex and compression trim.

Lead flashings: common questions
Why Wakaflex instead of new lead?
It handles expansion and contraction better than long lead runs, comes in colours to match the roof, and is a cost-effective long-term fix.
