Chimney flashing
Repair or replace the leadwork where a chimney meets the roof, including the apron at the front, the stepped flashing at the sides and the detail behind the stack.
DB Roofing repairs and installs lead flashing, valleys and other roof details across Dorset. If rain is getting in around a chimney, dormer or extension, we can inspect the junction and quote for the work it needs.
Leadwork helps keep water out at roof junctions and directs it towards the gutters. We work on existing roofs, extensions and new installations.
Repair or replace the leadwork where a chimney meets the roof, including the apron at the front, the stepped flashing at the sides and the detail behind the stack.
Weatherproof the join where a pitched or flat roof meets an upright wall, such as above an extension, porch or dormer.
Repair or renew lead-lined channels that collect runoff where roof slopes meet or direct it towards an outlet.
Check lifted edges, splits and failed joints. Where the existing lead is sound, a local repair may be enough to restore the junction.
Renew sections that are split, distorted or repeatedly leaking. We check the surrounding tiles, slates and brickwork to see what else needs attention.
Install lead details for new roofs and extensions, or renew weathered details as part of work on an older property.
Lifted flashing, visible splits or a damp patch that returns after heavy rain are good reasons to arrange an inspection. Water can travel beneath the roof covering before it appears indoors.
We look at the lead, its fixings and nearby mortar, tiles or slates to narrow down where water is getting in. We can then explain whether the existing lead can be secured or whether the affected section needs replacing.

Often, yes. If the lead itself is sound and the problem is a loose fixing or failed mortar joint, a targeted repair may be suitable. Widespread splits or distorted lead may call for replacement of the affected section.
It can be a sign of faulty flashing. Cracked chimney mortar, damaged roof tiles and defects around the chimney pots can also let water in. An inspection helps identify the source before work is quoted.
The cost depends on the size and position of the affected area, how it can be accessed, and whether nearby tiles, slates or masonry also need work. An inspection lets us quote for the specific repair.
Yes. DB Roofing installs flashing where a flat or pitched extension roof meets the main building. The detail depends on the roof covering and the wall it meets.
