Woodley, Berkshire
Leadwork in Woodley
Lead flashing work in Woodley is primarily associated with chimney stacks on post-war housing — step flashings and back-gutters that are now in their fifth or sixth decade. Legacy Roofing assesses, repairs, and replaces lead flashings across Woodley to correct Code specifications.
The older Woodley Green properties — inter-war housing in the area of the original village centre — sometimes have more extensive leadwork including valley gutters. We assess these individually and advise on what needs full replacement versus what can be repaired.

Leadwork in Woodley — 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.
