Earley, Berkshire
Leadwork in Earley
Earley's Edwardian back-addition valley gutters and chimney flashings are among the most active leadwork maintenance areas in the RG6 postcode. Legacy Roofing carries out lead flashing repairs, new valley liner installations, and full lead replacements across Earley to correct Code specifications.
Valley gutters between the Edwardian main house and rear kitchen addition in streets like Beechwood Avenue and Landmark Place are a known maintenance point — lead-lined when originally built but now at an age where a full assessment and selective replacement is needed. We address these as a leadwork project rather than a patch repair.

Leadwork in Earley — 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.
