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's included
- Lead valleys, aprons and saddles
- Step flashings around chimney stacks
- Workmanship guarantee on every joint
