Leadwork in Hounslow
Victorian terrace housing in Hounslow has chimney flashings, valley gutters, and parapet details in lead that are now in their second century. Legacy Roofing carries out all leadwork in Hounslow — repairs, new lead installations, and valley liner replacements — to correct Code specifications.
The back-addition valley gutters on Victorian terraces in Isleworth and Brentford are typically lead-lined — but the lead has in many cases been patched with sealant at various points over the decades. We strip back to a clean base and install new lead correctly, in bays with proper expansion provision.

Leadwork in Hounslow — 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.
