Why Choose Us?

Why Quality Leadwork is Essential for Market Harborough Properties

Lead is a remarkable material, chosen for centuries due to its exceptional durability, flexibility, and longevity. For your Market Harborough roof, especially around intricate areas like chimney stacks, dormer windows, and roof valleys, high-quality leadwork is absolutely crucial. Unlike rigid alternatives, lead can be precisely shaped to create seamless, watertight seals that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. This traditional craftsmanship, expertly applied by our team, ensures maximum protection against leaks and damp. Whether you own a charming Victorian terrace or a modern residence, investing in professional lead installation and repairs safeguards your property from persistent water issues, enhancing its overall resilience and reducing future maintenance costs.

Meticulous Flashing Installation and Repair for Complete Roof Protection

Beyond leadwork, proper flashing is a critical component of any resilient roofing system, crucial for homes throughout Market Harborough. Flashing, typically made from lead or other durable metals, is installed wherever your roof meets another surface – around skylights, vents, walls, and, of course, chimneys. Its purpose is to divert water away from these junctions, preventing it from seeping into your home. Faulty or degraded flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks and internal damp. Our expert team at Leicestershire Roofing provides meticulous flashing repair and installation services. We carefully assess your roof's needs, using precision techniques to ensure every piece of flashing is correctly fitted, sealed, and integrated, offering watertight protection and extending the lifespan of your roof. Don't let failing flashing compromise your home; trust our local specialists for enduring solutions.

Recognising the Signs Your Leadwork or Flashing Needs Professional Attention

For homeowners in Market Harborough, knowing when to call in the professionals for your leadwork and flashing can save you significant trouble and expense. Look out for these common warning signs:

  • Damp Patches or Stains: Any discolouration on ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys or external walls, often indicates a flashing or leadwork failure allowing water ingress.
  • Visible Cracks or Tears in Lead: Lead, though durable, can sometimes crack or lift due to extreme weather or age. If you can see this from the ground or during an inspection, it needs immediate attention.
  • Loose or Missing Flashing: High winds can damage or dislodge flashing. If it looks out of place or you find pieces on the ground, your roof is vulnerable.
  • Corrosion or Deterioration: Over time, particularly with older materials, you might notice signs of corrosion or significant wear. Ignoring these can lead to more extensive roof repairs.

Catching these issues early is key to preventing major leaks, structural damage, and costly emergency roofing repairs. If you spot any of these signs on your Market Harborough property, contact Leicestershire Roofing for a thorough inspection.
