Correct falls and overlaps
Properly installed flashing accounts for the direction water will actually flow, with correct overlaps that prevent water finding its way behind the lead.
The right lead thickness for the job
Different applications call for different grades of lead — using too light a gauge for a demanding junction shortens its working life considerably.
Proper fixing that allows for movement
Lead expands and contracts with temperature. Correctly installed flashing allows for this movement without cracking or working loose over time.
Avoiding a common source of repeat leaks
Poorly installed leadwork is one of the most common causes of leaks that keep coming back despite repeated attempts to fix them.
Every job from our leadwork team is carried out to proper trade standards, not just a quick seal.
