We had a leaky Dormer which required further lead work to make watertight, something the Developer failed to do, and were recommended H&M Roofing from the Suffolk Business Directory.

When Lead Flashing Needs Attention
Good leadwork is an important part of keeping vulnerable areas of a roof weatherproof. Those areas are the junctions: where a roof meets a wall or another roof slope.
Flashing that has lifted or split lets rain in behind it, and the first sign is a damp patch inside. Catching it early keeps the repair small.
- Damp on a ceiling or wall Just below where the roof meets a wall
- Flashing lifting or loose Lead that has come away from the wall it seals against
- Slipped slates or tiles Gaps along a wall or valley that let rain in
- Leaks at a valley Where two slopes meet and their rain runs together

A Stepped Flashing Along a Wall
On this roof, where the slates run along a stone wall, the junction is sealed with a stepped flashing running up the wall.
A stepped flashing is cut to follow the courses of the wall, so each step tucks into a joint and the flashing laps down over the slates below.

Leadwork FAQs
A strip of lead that seals the joint where a roof meets a wall or another part of the building, so rain runs off over the slates or tiles instead of in behind them.
