Fleet, Hampshire
Leadwork in Fleet
Victorian and Edwardian properties around Fleet Pond and the town's historic core have chimney flashings and valley gutters in lead that need periodic assessment and maintenance. Legacy Roofing carries out lead work in Fleet to correct Code specifications.
Some of Fleet's larger Victorian detached houses near the pond have extensive original leadwork — valley gutters, dormer flashings, and parapet details. These require thorough survey and selective replacement of failed sections rather than wholesale replacement of sound lead.

Leadwork in Fleet — 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.
