Leadwork and Roof Flashing in Faversham, ME13
Older roofs were built with lead at every junction, and on a protected building the replacement is expected to match the original detail rather than simplify it.
Covering Faversham and the surrounding ME13 postcode area. Your approved roofer provides a written quote with the scope set out before any work starts, and will raise anything found once the covering is lifted before carrying on.

Why Choose Us for Leadwork and Roof Flashing in Faversham
We cover Faversham and the ME13 postcode area. The rest of Swale is covered too, so an address just outside the town is still in range. Our approved roofing specialists handle leadwork and roof flashing in Faversham, and they are fully insured and appropriately qualified for work at height. We do not quote for leadwork and roof flashing without seeing the roof first, and the quote sets the scope out in writing rather than handing you a bare figure. Lead splits down the middle when it is laid in lengths that are too long, so the size of each piece matters as much as the code of lead used.
Lead, Not A Cement Fillet
Cement and lead move at different rates, so a fillet used in place of lead cracks and then holds water against the joint rather than shedding it. Where one is found it is replaced, not sealed again.
Short Lengths, Room To Move
Lead moves every day the sun is on it. Pieces are kept short enough to take that movement and fixed so it has somewhere to go, which is why an over-long flashing splits down the middle.
The Right Code For The Detail
A soaker, a stepped flashing and a valley take different thicknesses of lead. The code is chosen for the detail and the exposure rather than for whatever happens to be on the van.
Access Sorted Before The Date
Most roof work needs scaffolding or a tower, and it is arranged as part of the job rather than left for you to organise. Where access crosses a neighbour's ground, that is agreed before anything goes up.
The Site Left As It Was Found
Old tiles, felt and nails come off the roof and go with us. Gardens, drives and gutters are cleared at the end of each day rather than only at the end of the job.
Answerable After The Scaffold Comes Down
Finishing the job is not the end of it. If something is not right once the scaffold is down, you call the same number you called first and it gets looked at.
Serving the Area
Very little in the old town is square, and the timber under those roofs has been moving for centuries.
