Wokingham, Berkshire
Leadwork in Wokingham
The chimney stacks, valley gutters, and dormer details on Wokingham's older properties depend on good leadwork to remain weathertight. Legacy Roofing carries out lead flashing repairs, new valley liners, and full lead-work replacements across Wokingham — using correct Code weights and proper bay-and-expansion installation rather than the sealant-over approach that so often ends up back on our schedule within a few years.
Step flashings on the Victorian chimney stacks along Broad Street and the surrounding conservation area streets are a regular call. The original flashings on these properties were often tuck-pointed rather than properly fixed into a reglet, and they work loose over time.

Leadwork in Wokingham — 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.
