Why Lead Flashing matters in St Anne's

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.

St Anne's 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.
