Leadwork in Winnersh
Lead flashing work in Winnersh is most commonly associated with chimney stacks on the inter-war and post-war housing — step flashings, soakers, and back-gutters that are now at or past their expected service life. Legacy Roofing carries out lead flashing repairs and replacements in Winnersh, working to the correct Code specification for each application.
The inter-war semis on Reading Road and Station Road in Winnersh often have chimney stacks with original lead flashings from the 1930s. Where the lead is still sound we can often repair rather than replace; where it has split or lifted we install new Code 4 or Code 5 lead to specification.

Leadwork in Winnersh — 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.
