Chimney Lead Flashing Installation in Tattenhall by Browns Lead Roofing


Browns Lead Roofing recently carried out a chimney lead flashing installation in Tattenhall, providing a long-lasting and weatherproof solution for a residential property experiencing water ingress around the chimney stack. Properly installed lead flashing is essential for preventing leaks and protecting the roof structure, especially in exposed areas prone to heavy rain and wind.

The project involved the removal of failed and aged flashing that had begun to crack and lift away from the brickwork. Our team carefully prepared the chimney masonry before installing new code-compliant lead flashing, ensuring a precise fit that integrates seamlessly with the existing roof tiles.


Lead Welding in Tattenhall

Lead Welding

Due to the design of the chimney and roof junction, specialist lead welding was required to form strong, seamless joints. This critical stage of the work was completed by Craig Brown from Browns Lead Roofing, a skilled leadwork specialist with extensive experience in traditional and modern lead roofing techniques. The welded joints significantly enhance durability and create a water tight seal, ensuring long-term protection against moisture penetration.

Once installed, the lead flashing was expertly stepped and dressed into the chimney brickwork, delivering both functional performance and a clean, professional finish. This method helps extend the lifespan of the chimney, reduces future maintenance issues, and improves overall roof integrity.
