Frequently Asked Questions About Lead Flashing in Bournemouth

Why is lead flashing important for my Bournemouth roof?

Lead flashing creates a watertight seal around roof features like chimneys, dormers, and valleys, preventing water from penetrating your roof and causing damage. In Bournemouth's coastal climate, with exposure to salt, wind, and rain, properly installed and maintained lead flashing is essential for protecting your home.

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

Look for cracks, splits, lifting, or signs of corrosion in the lead. Also, be aware of any damp patches or leaks inside your home near chimneys or other roof penetrations, as these could indicate failing flashing.

Do you use traditional leadwork techniques?

Yes, Rightway Roofers are skilled in traditional lead bossing techniques, which are often required for heritage properties and listed buildings in Bournemouth. We also utilize modern lead welding techniques where appropriate, ensuring the best solution for your specific roof.

How does the coastal environment in Bournemouth affect lead flashing?

The salt-laden air in Bournemouth can accelerate corrosion of lead flashing over time. We take this into account by using high-quality lead and, when necessary, applying protective coatings to extend the lifespan of your flashing.

Can you repair lead flashing, or does it always need replacing?

We always assess the condition of your existing lead flashing first. Minor cracks or damage can often be repaired. However, if the lead is significantly deteriorated or corroded, replacement is usually the best long-term solution.

Do you work on listed buildings in Bournemouth?

Yes, Rightway Roofers has extensive experience working on listed buildings and heritage properties, including those found in Bournemouth's conservation areas. We understand the specific requirements and regulations involved in working with these historically significant buildings.

What type of lead do you use?

We use high-quality milled lead sheet, conforming to British Standards, ensuring durability and longevity. The specific grade of lead used will depend on the application and the requirements of your roof.

How long does lead flashing typically last?

Properly installed and maintained lead flashing can last for many decades, often 50 years or more. However, in coastal environments like Bournemouth, regular inspections are recommended to identify any potential issues early on.

Are you insured to carry out leadwork?
