Repairs and maintenance

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.

Is the inspection free?

Inspections are free for home owners, with no obligation. Inspections and reports for strata buildings are charged. We confirm the fee when you send the job.

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

You don’t need to be home. If we can reach the roof from outside, just leave the side gate open.

How soon will I get a quote?

We’ll contact you by the next business day to arrange an inspection. Home owners usually get their quote on the spot. Otherwise you get a written quote with photos within 24 hours of the inspection.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NSW contractor licence 451327C and $20 million public liability.

What warranty do you give?

5 years on repointing, 2 years on general workmanship. See our warranty terms for details.
