Crowthorne, Berkshire
Leadwork in Crowthorne
Crowthorne's Victorian and Edwardian housing around Wellington College often includes original leadwork — step flashings, valley gutters, and dormer details — that is now at the age where assessment and partial replacement is needed. Legacy Roofing carries out lead flashing repairs and new lead installations across Crowthorne, working to correct Code specifications.
Valley gutters on the Victorian detached houses around Dukes Ride tend to be lead-lined and substantial — properly installed when the properties were built, but now requiring a detailed assessment to identify which sections are still sound and which need replacement.

Leadwork in Crowthorne — 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.
