Lead Flashing Repair Clevedon

Lead flashing is one of the most important elements of a watertight roofing system, protecting vulnerable junctions where water is most likely to penetrate. When flashing becomes damaged, loose or worn, it can quickly lead to leaks, damp and structural issues. At Fortress Roofing, we specialise in lead flashing repair in Clevedon, providing professional, long-lasting solutions to protect homes and businesses throughout the area. With years of experience and a reputation for craftsmanship and reliability, we ensure your roof remains secure, weatherproof and built to withstand Clevedon’s coastal climate.

Expert Lead Flashing Repair Across Clevedon

Lead flashing is typically installed around chimney stacks, roof-to-wall junctions, valleys, dormers, skylights and other high-risk areas. Because these points handle a significant flow of rainwater, proper flashing is essential. However, Clevedon’s exposed coastal weather, including frequent rainfall and strong winds, means flashing can deteriorate faster than in inland areas.
Fortress Roofing offers a complete lead flashing repair service to address issues such as:

• Cracked, split or fatigued lead
• Flashing lifting away from brickwork
• Mortar deterioration or displacement
• Water ingress around chimneys or roof junctions
• Storm-damaged or loose flashing
• Corroded, worn or incorrectly fitted flashing
• Repeated leaks in the same area

Our skilled roofing specialists carry out detailed assessments and deliver repairs that restore full weather protection and long-term durability.

Common Signs Your Lead Flashing Needs Repair

Identifying flashing problems early is essential to preventing more serious damage. Because Clevedon often experiences heavy rain, salt-laden coastal air and strong winds, flashing issues can escalate quickly.
You may require professional lead flashing repair if you notice:

• Damp patches or stains on internal walls or ceilings
• Drips or leaks during rainfall
• Water marks around chimney breasts
• Visible cracks or splits in the flashing
• Gaps forming between the flashing and brickwork
• Mortar crumbling or missing from joints
• Moss or algae growth near flashing lines
• Discolouration or peeling paint caused by damp

Any of these symptoms may indicate water is entering through a vulnerable point in your roof. Timely repairs are essential to protect both the exterior and interior of your home.

Our Lead Flashing Repair Process

At Fortress Roofing, we follow a structured and high-quality repair process to ensure every job is completed safely and professionally.

1. Comprehensive Roof and Flashing Inspection

We begin by inspecting the flashing, surrounding tiles, brickwork and relevant roofing components. Identifying the root cause of the leak is essential, as flashing issues can sometimes be connected to wider roofing problems.

2. Expert Repair or Replacement

Depending on the level of damage, we may recommend:

• Re-securing flashing that has lifted or loosened
• Replacing cracked, split or fatigued lead
• Re-bedding flashing into fresh mortar joints
• Installing new lead flashing where existing sections have failed
• Applying specialist sealants for added protection
• Reinforcing junctions for stronger long-term durability

All repairs are carried out using high-grade lead and professional roofing materials to ensure a long-lasting watertight seal.

3. Ensuring Full Weather Protection

Once the flashing is repaired or replaced, we check all surrounding areas to ensure they are secure and watertight. This includes inspecting the integrity of nearby tiles, underlay and chimney masonry.

4. Clean and Respectful Workmanship

We take great care while working on properties in Clevedon, from modern homes to older coastal cottages. Our team ensures repairs blend with the existing roof and leaves your property clean and tidy once the work is complete.
