Lead Flashing Replacement and Repairs across Whitefield and nearby
The oldest housing in Whitefield is its Victorian terraces, such as those around Lily Hill Street and Nipper Lane, along with the older houses in Besses o' th' Barn. Roofs of that age are typically slate, with brick chimney stacks and lead flashing that have been in place for a very long time.
We are based at 7a Elms Street in Whitefield, so Stand, Besses o' th' Barn, Unsworth, Prestwich and Radcliffe are all a short drive.

FAQ
Lead Flashing Replacement and Repairs: common questions
Can you seal a split in the lead?
A sealant will hold for a while, but a split usually means the lead is at the end of its life. Replacing that length is the lasting repair.
Why has my flashing come loose?
Most often the mortar holding it in the wall has cracked and fallen out. We rake the joint out, re-fix the lead and point it in.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the roof, the access and what we find. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation.
