Finchampstead, Berkshire
Leadwork in Finchampstead
Older properties in Finchampstead — the farmhouses, cottages, and Victorian residential properties — often have original leadwork at chimney flashings, valley gutters, and dormer details. Legacy Roofing carries out lead assessments, repairs, and new lead installations in Finchampstead, using correct Code weights and proper bay-and-expansion installation.
Some of the older Finchampstead properties backing onto the national nature reserve at Finchampstead Ridges are substantial detached houses with multiple chimney stacks and leadwork valley gutters — these require thorough survey before any lead work begins to identify what is sound and what needs replacing.

Leadwork in Finchampstead — 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.
