Leadwork in Ascot
Leadwork on Ascot's large Victorian and Edwardian properties is extensive — multiple valley gutters, chimney back-gutters, step flashings, dormer cheeks, and parapet cappings, all in lead of varying age and condition. Legacy Roofing carries out lead assessments, repairs, and full lead installations across Ascot to correct Code specifications.
Valley gutters on the large Edwardian detached houses in Sunningdale are often substantial — wide, multi-bay lead channels in Code 6 or heavier, sometimes 100 years old or more. Where these are still in good condition we maintain and extend their life; where they have split or been compromised by previous bodge repairs we replace correctly.

Leadwork in Ascot — FAQs
Correctly specified and installed lead flashings can last 60 years or more. Failures typically occur within much shorter periods when the wrong Code weight is used or details are not properly dressed.
Minor cracks and splits can sometimes be repaired, but failed step flashings or split valley gutters usually need replacing. We will assess and advise on the best approach.
This is usually a sign that the lead was tuck-pointed into the mortar joint rather than fixed into a proper reglet, or that the mortar has deteriorated around the fixing. We re-dress and re-point correctly as part of our chimney flashing repairs.
