Bespoke Lead Flashing Installation Around a Chimney in Malpas by Browns Lead Roofing
Browns Lead Roofing recently completed a specialist roofing project involving the installation of bespoke lead flashing around a chimney on a residential property in Malpas. Chimney areas are one of the most vulnerable parts of any roof, and correctly detailed lead flashing is essential to prevent water ingress and protect the structure beneath.
The existing chimney flashing had deteriorated over time, allowing moisture to penetrate the roofline. Browns Lead Roofing carefully prepared the chimney stack and surrounding roof area before designing and installing custom-made lead flashing tailored precisely to the roof’s layout and pitch.
Apron Flashing and Step Flashing for Maximum Protection
A key part of the installation was the apron flashing fitted around the base of the chimney, which plays a vital role in directing rainwater away from the chimney breast and safely onto the roof covering below. This bespoke apron flashing was formed to suit the exact dimensions of the chimney, ensuring a neat fit and long-lasting performance.
In addition, step flashing was installed along the edges of the chimney, carefully layered with the roof tiles to create a continuous waterproof barrier. Each section of step flashing was dressed into the brickwork and integrated seamlessly with the surrounding roof covering, allowing for natural movement while maintaining a watertight seal.
Skilled Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail
Installing lead flashing around a chimney requires precision, experience, and a thorough understanding of how lead behaves in changing weather conditions. Browns Lead Roofing combined traditional leadworking techniques with modern best practices to ensure the finished installation delivers both durability and a clean, professional appearance.
The completed chimney leadwork now provides reliable protection against the elements while enhancing the overall finish of the roof.
