Why Lead Flashing matters in Blackpool

Hand-dressed milled lead sheet to BS EN 12588. We use code 4 for soakers and aprons, code 5 for chimney stacks and exposed valleys. Dressed and chase-fixed properly, lead outlasts the roof covering itself.

Blackpool specifics: Code 5 minimum on FY postcodes — anything thinner thins further under salt cycling.

Best for

Chimney flashings, wall abutments, valleys, dormer cheeks, parapet copings.

Dense mix of guesthouse terraces along the seafront, 1930s semis around Stanley Park and Marton, and modern estates inland. Many roofs use concrete interlocking tiles that suffer in coastal weather.
