Frequently Asked Questions About Lead Flashing Services in Portsmouth

Why is lead flashing important for Portsmouth roofs?

Lead flashing is crucial for Portsmouth roofs due to our coastal location and varied weather. It provides a watertight seal in vulnerable areas like chimney bases, roof valleys, and around roof windows, preventing water ingress which can be exacerbated by wind-driven rain and salt spray common in Portsmouth. Proper lead flashing protects your property from damp, leaks, and structural damage.

What are the signs that my lead flashing needs repair or replacement in Portsmouth?

Signs of lead flashing failure in Portsmouth include visible cracks or tears in the lead, loose or displaced flashing, moss or algae growth around flashing joints (indicating trapped moisture), and water stains or damp patches inside your property near flashing locations. Salt spray can also accelerate corrosion, so regular checks are important.

What type of lead do Rightway Roofers use for flashing in Portsmouth?

We use only premium grade lead, typically code 4 or code 5 lead, for Portsmouth flashing projects. This thicker, higher quality lead offers superior durability and longevity, essential for withstanding the corrosive coastal environment and strong winds experienced in areas like Southsea and Portsea.

Can you match lead flashing for historic buildings in Portsmouth?

Yes, Rightway Roofers has extensive experience working on historic properties in Portsmouth, including listed buildings. We are skilled in traditional leadworking techniques and can source appropriate lead to match existing historic flashing, ensuring sympathetic repairs that comply with conservation requirements in areas like Old Portsmouth.

What is involved in lead flashing replacement?

Lead flashing replacement involves carefully removing the old, damaged lead, preparing the area, and then installing new lead flashing that is correctly sized, shaped, and securely fitted and sealed. For replacements, we ensure proper overlaps and fixings to withstand Portsmouth's channel winds and prevent future leaks.

How long does lead flashing last in the Portsmouth climate?

High-quality lead flashing, properly installed and maintained, can last for several decades, even in Portsmouth's coastal climate. However, factors like salt spray exposure, extreme weather events, and the quality of the initial installation can affect lifespan. Regular inspections and prompt repairs are key to maximizing longevity.

Do you repair or replace chimney flashing in Portsmouth?

Yes, chimney flashing repair and replacement is a core leadwork service we offer in Portsmouth. Chimney flashing is particularly vulnerable to weather damage and thermal movement. We expertly repair or replace lead flashing around chimney stacks, ensuring a watertight seal and preventing chimney leaks, common in older Portsmouth properties.
