Why Lead Flashing Matters

Lead flashing plays a crucial role in maintaining a watertight roof by sealing vulnerable junctions where water is most likely to penetrate. These include areas such as chimney stacks, roof-to-wall junctions, dormer windows, valleys and around skylights. When installed correctly, lead flashing offers exceptional durability and can withstand extreme weather, temperature changes and long-term environmental exposure.

However, over time flashing can deteriorate due to age, improper installation, movement in the roofing structure, or storm damage. Even small defects can result in significant leaks, damp patches, mould growth or internal water damage. That is why dealing with issues promptly is essential to avoid costly repairs later.

Common Signs Your Lead Flashing Needs Repair

Knowing when to call a professional can prevent further damage to your property. Signs you may require lead flashing repair in Portishead include:

• Visible cracks or splits in the flashing
• Lead sheets lifting or pulling away from the roof surface
• Damp stains appearing on internal ceilings or walls
• Drips during or after rainfall
• Rust marks around fixings
• Loose mortar around chimneys
• Noticeable gaps, warping or corrosion

If you identify any of these problems, our team at Fortress Roofing can carry out a prompt inspection and recommend the most effective solution.

Our Lead Flashing Repair Services in Portishead

Fortress Roofing offers a complete, expert service that ensures your flashing is fully restored and able to protect your property from water ingress. Our approach includes:

Full Roof and Flashing Assessment

We begin with a thorough inspection to identify the cause of the issue. This includes assessing adjacent roof coverings, the condition of mortar joints and the overall integrity of the flashing system. By understanding the full scope of the problem, we can provide a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

Precision Repairs and Replacement

Depending on the severity of the damage, we will either repair sections of flashing or replace them with brand-new, high-quality lead. All work is carried out using industry best practices, ensuring the flashing is securely installed and properly seated to withstand rain, wind and thermal movement.

High-Quality Materials

Fortress Roofing uses premium-grade lead that is environmentally friendly, long-lasting and highly resistant to weathering. This ensures your repaired flashing will perform reliably for many years.

Mortar Repointing and Sealing

If mortar or brickwork around the flashing has deteriorated, we carry out repointing using durable external-grade mortar. We also apply appropriate sealing where necessary to achieve a complete watertight finish.

Chimney Flashing Specialists

Chimney stacks are one of the most common areas for water leaks. Our team specialises in step flashing, apron flashing and back gutters, ensuring every junction is sealed to the highest standards.
