Leadwork & Flashing by Edmondson Roofing across Lancashire

Roofing Service

Leadwork & Flashing

Hand-formed lead flashings, valleys, aprons and bay-window roofs — properly weatherproof for decades.

What's involved

Lead is the difference between a roof that lasts 50 years and one that leaks at every junction. 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

  • Code 4–5 lead supplied and dressed on site
  • Step flashings around chimney stacks
  • Lead valleys, aprons and saddles
  • Bay-window and porch roof re-covering
  • Patination oil applied to prevent staining
  • Workmanship guarantee on every joint

Materials we use

  • Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead
  • Lead-welded joints
  • Patination oil
  • Stainless steel and copper fixings

Typical duration

1–3 days depending on detail — bay roofs typically 2 days, single flashing replacements often a single day.

What shapes the price

  • Lead grade and weight
  • Detail complexity (apron vs full bay)
  • Access — chimney scaffold required?
  • Conservation requirements
