Why Choose Us?
Why professional lead flashing is essential for your home
Roof leadwork is a specialist trade that requires an understanding of how materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Poorly installed flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks, often resulting in expensive repairs to ceilings and timber structures. We use high-quality milled lead that meets all UK building regulations, ensuring that your roof remains watertight for decades. Our specialists are adept at installing lead soakers, lead step flashing, and lead aprons that provide a flexible yet impenetrable barrier against the elements.If you have noticed damp patches near your chimney or water ingress in your roof valleys, it is likely that your leadwork has perished or was improperly installed. We provide comprehensive roof surveys across Great Harwood and Preston to identify these issues early. By addressing leadwork problems promptly, you avoid the higher costs associated with major roof failures during the harsh winter months. Contact us on 01254 963068 to book a professional assessment.

Who We Are
Our step-by-step leadwork and repair process
At Lancashire Roofing Specialist, we believe in transparency and precision. Our process begins with a detailed survey of your roofline to assess the condition of existing lead and masonry. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation tailored to your specific needs. Once work commences, our craftsmen use traditional methods such as lead welding and bossing to create seamless transitions around complex roof geometries. This is particularly important for chimney flashing and lead valley repairs, where water flow is most concentrated.The final stage of our process involves a thorough inspection to ensure all work meets the high standards of the Lead Sheet Training Academy guidelines and local Hyndburn building control requirements. We treat every home in Great Harwood, Burnley, and Clitheroe as if it were our own, ensuring the site is clean and the new leadwork is treated with patination oil to prevent unsightly white staining. Our goal is to provide a long-lasting, maintenance-free solution that enhances your home's value.

Does my Great Harwood property need leadwork repairs?
Property owners often ask how they can tell if their roof leadwork is failing. Common signs include visible cracks in the lead sheets, lead that has pulled away from the masonry, or white powdery deposits on the tiles below. In older Lancashire towns like Great Harwood and Nelson, historical chimney stacks often suffer from perished mortar and loose lead aprons. We recommend regular roof maintenance to catch these issues before they lead to significant internal damage.Our services include the repair and replacement of lead gutters, the installation of lead valleys, and the securing of loose step flashing. Because lead is a highly durable material, often lasting over 60 years, a professional repair can frequently extend the life of your entire roof system. We also offer specialised chimney repairs and repointing to ensure the masonry supporting your leadwork is structurally sound and ready for the winter weather.
