Property Managers: Leadwork & Flashing in Blackpool
Block and portfolio managers need documented, insured, planned work — not ad-hoc callouts.
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.
What property managers typically ask us first
On leadwork & flashing jobs for property managers, the priorities are usually predictable — and different from a walk-in domestic call. Here's what we plan around on a Blackpool residential blocks and mixed portfolios job.
- Method statements and RAMS supplied with the quote
- £5m public liability, insurer contact details on file
- Planned maintenance visits scheduled 12 months out
- Section 20 compatible written specifications where relevant
- Reporting formats compatible with the block's management pack
What you get in writing
Every leadwork & flashing job for property managers in Blackpool closes with the same paperwork so nothing is verbal.
- RAMS and PL insurance pack
- Annual roof condition log with photographs
- Planned maintenance calendar
- Consolidated monthly billing
How the leadwork & flashing job runs for property managers
Each site gets a named account manager, an annual walk-round, and a rolling condition log so the block committee always has current data.
Typical duration: 1–3 days depending on detail — bay roofs typically 2 days, single flashing replacements often a single day.
