Lead Flashing Repair Bath

Lead flashing plays a vital role in protecting your property from water ingress, ensuring your roof remains weatherproof and structurally sound throughout the year. When flashing becomes worn, cracked or displaced, even a small gap can allow water to seep into your home, leading to damp, mould, and long-term roofing damage. At Fortress Roofing, we specialise in lead flashing repair in Bath, providing professional, long-lasting solutions for residential and commercial properties across the city and surrounding areas.
With years of dedicated experience, a commitment to high standards, and a strong reputation for dependable service, our team offers expert flashing repairs that help maintain the strength, safety and longevity of your roof.

Specialists in Lead Flashing Repair Across Bath

Lead flashing is commonly used around roof junctions and vulnerable areas, including chimneys, skylights, dormers, valleys and wall abutments. Its purpose is to form a watertight seal and direct water away from the roof. Over time, weather exposure, movement, ageing materials and poor installation can all lead to flashing problems.
We provide comprehensive lead flashing repair services in Bath for issues such as:

• Cracked, split or fatigued lead
• Loose or displaced flashing
• Flashing lifting away from mortar joints
• Water ingress around chimneys or roof edges
• Corroded or worn surfaces
• Poorly installed or incompatible flashing
• Flashing damaged by storms or debris

Our experts can identify the root cause of the issue and carry out the precise repair needed to restore full protection to your roof.

Why Lead Flashing Fails and When to Call an Expert

Lead is one of the most durable materials used in roofing, but even the best flashing can fail after years of exposure. Bath’s mix of historic architecture, period homes and modern builds means many properties have flashing that has been in place for decades. Recognising the signs of flashing deterioration early can prevent much costlier damage later on.
You may need lead flashing repair if you notice:

• Damp patches or water staining on internal walls or ceilings
• Water leaking around your chimney breast
• Moss growth or damp on exterior masonry
• Visible gaps between flashing and brickwork
• Flashing that appears bent, cracked or lifted
• Drips during or after heavy rainfall
• Mortar crumbling around roof junctions

Any of these signs can indicate that water is bypassing the flashing and entering the structure. Addressing the issue promptly helps avoid structural timber decay, insulation damage and persistent moisture problems.

Our Lead Flashing Repair Process

At Fortress Roofing, we follow a professional and methodical approach to ensure every flashing repair is durable, accurate and tailored to the existing roof.

Detailed Roof Inspection

We begin with a thorough inspection of your flashing, surrounding roof surfaces and mortar joints. This allows us to pinpoint the cause of the problem rather than simply addressing the visible symptoms.

Expert Repair or Replacement

Depending on the condition of the flashing, we may:

• Re-secure loose flashing
• Replace cracked or fatigued sections
• Rebed the flashing into mortar joints
• Apply specialist sealants for additional protection
• Install new lead flashing if the original is beyond repair

We only use high-quality materials and industry-approved techniques, ensuring each repair meets professional standards and is built to last.

Ensuring a Watertight Seal

Our team ensures all repaired areas are fully watertight and integrated seamlessly with the surrounding roof structure. We test vulnerable points to confirm the repair provides long-term protection against Bath’s varied weather conditions.

Clean, Safe and Respectful Workmanship

We understand the importance of maintaining the appearance of Bath’s well-loved buildings. Whether your property is modern or historic, we work carefully and respectfully, leaving the area clean and tidy once the repair is complete.
