Smile Roofing’s team of professional roofing contractors carries out an extensive range of leadwork services to domestic and commercial clients in Salisbury and the surrounding areas we cover. A major aspect of our roofing services, we repair and replace the leadwork on all property styles in order to guarantee the longevity and security of their roofing systems. If you think you might need the lead flashings on your roof examined or replaced, please contact us on 07919 181908 or 0800 4880 279.
Acting like a sealant, lead flashings cover all joins in your roofing structure, ensuring the seals are stable and watertight. They also improve sound insulation and provide an extra thermal barrier against harsh weather conditions. For clients who are considering loft conversions, any form of additional protective barriers within the roofing structure will provide more comfortable living conditions within the newly constructed living space.
Leadwork also enhances the overall look of a roof, offering a decorative and neat finish which can catch the eye of any potential buyer should you ever decide to relocate.
Failure to maintain the lead flashings on your roof can cause water ingress and further internal damage such as damp, mould, and rotting timbers within the internal roofing structure, walls and floors. If allowed to continue, you could be looking at substantial repair costs and members of your Salisbury household or workforce may begin to suffer from respiratory problems.
Lead flashings are specifically designed to guide the flow of water away from joins and seams towards the guttering system. Due to its durability and resistance to any form of corrosion, it’s an ideal material for this task and, when properly maintained, will perform the job admirably.
Leadwork will eventually require repairs as it’s subjected to all weather conditions and will suffer as a result. If installed correctly in the first place, this shouldn’t happen for at least 100 years. Should it begin to deteriorate, there is every chance of water ingress so it’s essential to contact our roofing contractors at Smile Roofing immediately so we can assess and repair any damage caused.
We also offer gutter lining services for older properties in Salisbury and the surrounding localities. Linings are usually found in valleys between pitched roofs and parapets, and are quite often a forgotten part of a property. Issues can occur in these areas which may not be spotted for years, such as wet and dry rot or the infestation of insects and nesting birds.
Smile Roofing’s leadwork services are consistently sought after as we work effectively in order to maintain the integrity of existing systems. Whether we’re dealing with the replacement of a single lead strip or working on complex dormer roofing installations, we’re the foremost roofing contractors to call.
