Leadwork & Flashing across FY4 (South Shore, Squires Gate). Flat-roof porches and bay-window roofs common on South Shore terraces.
Blackpool Council sets the tone for leadwork & flashing across FY4 (South Shore, Squires Gate) — we work to those standards as a default, with written method statements where the council expects them.
What's included on a FY4 leadwork & flashing job

1–3 days depending on detail — bay roofs typically 2 days, single flashing replacements often a single day.
Why leadwork & flashing in FY4 is different
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.
Exposed Atlantic-facing coastline — salt-laden winds, frequent gusts above 60mph in winter storms, and persistent gull damage on flatter roofs.
What shapes the FY4 price
- Access — chimney scaffold required?
- Lead grade and weight
- Conservation requirements
- Detail complexity (apron vs full bay)
No phone-quote nonsense — every FY4 price is itemised in writing after a free survey.
