Reading Leadwork & Flashing
Let the Ascot roof leadwork experts install or repair your lead flashing
Leadwork is a common element in old and new buildings around Reading. Lead requires experienced and knowledgeable installers to correctly work with it, and fully understand how it breathes and flexes.
Leadwork has been used in the industrial, commercial and domestic building industry for decades. It has been used on the roofs of a wide variety of Reading properties, such as homes, churches, offices, factories and public buildings.
Leadwork is commonly found in Reading on:
- Chimney joins

FAQs For Leadwork & Flashing in Reading
Chimney flashing is normally the leadwork or roof flashing that creates a waterproof seal to protect your chimney and roof from water damage and penetration. Professional roofers or roofing contractors have the necessary experience to repoint your chimney properly so it will last many more years. If you do this early enough, the repairs will be minor, and it will simply be a matter of pulling out the old mortar and putting in the new. When a chimney develops damaged joints, allowing moisture entry, it is recommended to remove the damaged portions and replace them with proper materials. This repair is known as repointing. If you notice that the mortar on your chimney has changed colour, it is a sign that the mortar and bricks are old and need repointing. If the mortar has started to flake or chip off, this can also mean that the mortar has gone brittle and become weak.
