Clitheroe Letting Agents — Leadwork & Flashing Done Properly
Letting agents need a roofer who books in fast, invoices cleanly, and doesn't call the landlord behind their back.
Where letting agents tend to lose money on roofing
On leadwork & flashing jobs for letting agents, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Clitheroe managed rentals across mixed housing stock job.
- A single point of contact for every job the agent sends over
- Response SLA that fits the AST maintenance obligations
- Photograph-backed reports the landlord can approve remotely
- Invoice formats and terms matched to the agency's software
- Zero sales approach when speaking with the tenant
What you get in writing
Every leadwork & flashing job for letting agents in Clitheroe closes with the same paperwork so nothing is verbal.
- Job number and reference on every visit
- Photograph pack shared via email or portal
- PDF invoice with VAT breakdown
- Post-works recommendations only when useful
The leadwork & flashing work itself
Lead is the difference between a roof that lasts 50 years and one that leaks at every junction. We dress lead flashings around chimneys and abutments, form valleys, aprons and step flashings, and re-cover lead bay-window roofs in heritage code 5 lead with rolled joints — exactly the way they were originally built.
How the leadwork & flashing job runs for letting agents
One phone number, one email inbox, one named point of contact. We work to whatever authorisation limit the agent sets and never quote the landlord over the agent.
Typical duration: 1–3 days depending on detail — bay roofs typically 2 days, single flashing replacements often a single day.
