Malpas Lead Chimney Flashing

Chimney Lead Flashing Upgrade in Malpas Completed by Browns Lead Roofing

Browns Lead Roofing has recently carried out a bespoke chimney lead flashing installation on a residential property in Malpas, delivering a long-lasting solution designed to protect the roof from water ingress and weather damage. Chimneys are one of the most exposed elements of a roof, and professionally installed lead flashing is essential to maintain a watertight seal where masonry meets the roof covering.

For this project, the existing flashing around the chimney had reached the end of its lifespan. Our team carefully assessed the chimney stack and surrounding roof area before designing custom-fabricated lead flashing to suit the exact dimensions, pitch, and layout of the roof.

Bespoke Apron Flashing at the Chimney Base

At the front base of the chimney, a bespoke lead apron flashing was installed to safely guide rainwater away from the chimney breast and onto the roof surface below. This apron flashing was formed specifically for the property, ensuring a precise fit that enhances both performance and appearance.

Correctly installed apron flashing is vital for preventing water from tracking behind the chimney structure, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall and driving wind.

Step Flashing Along the Chimney Sides

To complete the installation, individual lead step flashings were fitted along each side of the chimney. These were carefully layered with the roof tiles and dressed into the brickwork, creating a continuous waterproof barrier while allowing the lead to expand and contract naturally over time.

This stepped approach is one of the most effective methods for sealing chimney edges, providing flexibility, durability, and long-term protection against leaks.

Professional Leadwork Built to Last

Installing chimney lead flashing requires experience, accuracy, and attention to detail. Browns Lead Roofing used traditional lead working techniques alongside modern best practices to ensure the finished work performs reliably while maintaining a clean, professional finish that complements the roof.

The completed chimney lead flashing installation in Malpas now provides dependable weather protection and improves the overall integrity of the roof.
