Why Lead Flashing matters in Lytham

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.

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