Specialist Roof Lead Work in Bromley
Professional installation and repair of lead flashing, valleys and roof junctions to help keep vulnerable areas secure and weather-resistant.
Water Protection
Protecting the Details Most Exposed to Water Ingress
Lead has been used in roofing for generations because it is durable, workable and well suited to forming weatherproof details. It is commonly found around chimneys, in valleys and where different roof surfaces or building elements meet.
These are some of the most vulnerable areas of a roof. If lead work becomes cracked, loose, poorly dressed or separated from the surrounding materials, water can enter the roof structure and cause damp or internal damage. LK Roofing Group provides experienced lead work services across Bromley and surrounding areas.

Signs That Lead Work May Need Attention
Visible cracks, gaps, lifting edges, staining below a chimney or water ingress near a roof junction can all indicate a problem with the lead work or surrounding materials. Because water can travel within a roof before appearing indoors, the obvious damp area may not sit directly beneath the defect.
We assess the detail and adjoining roof covering before recommending whether repair, re-dressing or replacement is appropriate.

Lead Work FAQs
What is lead flashing used for?
Lead flashing forms a weather-resistant junction between the roof covering and features such as chimneys, walls, valleys and penetrations. It directs water away from vulnerable joints.
Can damaged lead flashing be repaired?
Some localised defects can be repaired, while extensively split, incorrectly installed or badly deteriorated lead may need replacing. The adjoining roof materials must also be checked because they can contribute to the leak.
How long does roof lead work last?
Correctly designed and installed lead work can provide a long service life. Performance depends on the code and sizing of the lead, the detailing, exposure and whether the material has been allowed to move correctly.
