Leadwork in Ealing
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Ealing have chimney flashings, valley gutters, and parapet details in lead that are now in their second century. Legacy Roofing carries out all leadwork in Ealing — repairs, new lead installations, and valley liner replacements — to correct Code specifications.
Valley gutters on the Edwardian back-addition terraces of Northfields and Hanwell are typically lead-lined and date from the original build. Many have been patched with various sealants over the years — we strip back and install new lead correctly, in bays with proper expansion provision and correct upstand heights.

Leadwork in Ealing — 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.
