Windsor, Berkshire
Leadwork in Windsor
Lead is an integral part of Windsor's historic roofscape — chimney flashings, valley gutters, parapet cappings, and dormer details on the Georgian and Victorian properties in the conservation area all depend on correctly-installed lead to remain weathertight. Legacy Roofing carries out all leadwork in Windsor to the correct Code specifications.
The parapet gutters on some of Windsor's Georgian terrace properties are lead-lined — internal gutters that drain through the parapet wall rather than external downpipes. These are a specialist drainage item that requires a thorough assessment before any repair or replacement work begins.

Leadwork in Windsor — 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.
