Why Flashing Fails Before the Roof Does

The chimney and the roof expand and shrink at different rates, and the flashing between them takes that strain every day of its life. Over the years lead fatigues, mortar joints holding it crack, and wind gets a finger under the edge. Once it lifts, every rainfall sends water down the stack into the loft. Damp near the chimney breast almost always starts right here.

Traditional Leadwork That Lasts

We repair flashing with the right code of lead for each position, cut and dressed by hand, stepped into the brick joints and pointed properly. Done this way, leadwork outlasts most roof coverings, which makes a good flashing repair a permanent one. Where lead theft is a local worry we can fit quality substitutes, and we will tell you straight which suits your roof.

Small Leak Now, Big Damage Later

Flashing leaks are slow burners. Water follows the stack down inside the wall, soaking timber and plaster for months before a stain appears. By then, joist ends near the chimney can be wet through. A flashing repair caught early is one of the cheaper roof jobs there is. Check your chimney line from the ground with binoculars after storms, and call us about anything lifted or crinkled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my chimney flashing is leaking?

Damp patches on the chimney breast or ceiling nearby after rain are the usual sign, especially with wind driven weather. From the ground, lifted, crinkled or missing lead along the chimney line is often visible with binoculars. We survey for free and confirm whether flashing is the culprit before quoting.

How much does chimney flashing repair cost in Burgess Hill?

It depends on how much flashing needs work and the access required, from refixing one lifted section to renewing the full set around the stack. Access is itemised clearly in the quote. Surveys are free, prices are fixed in writing, and repairs are priced as repairs, not small rebuilds.

Can flashing be repaired in winter?

Yes. Lead works fine in cold weather, though pointing needs a dry spell to set and the roof must be safe to access. We schedule around the forecast and can fit temporary protection over an active leak while waiting for the right window. Winter leaks do not wait for spring, so neither do we.
