How We Fit Lead Flashing

Our lead flashing installation procedure at Obsidian Roofing is comprehensive, dependable, and built to last. Here is how our seasoned installers guarantee an ideal fit each time:

  • We rake out mortar around 150mm above roof level to craft a chase for the lead.
  • Each section is measured accurately, enabling a 150mm overlap.
  • Lead is cut to 1.2m lengths and cautiously shaped with dressing tools to match chimneys or valleys
  • Ledge straps are fixed in place to withstand wind uplift and slippage.
  • Rolled scrap lead or hall clips are added at 450mm intervals for additional security.
  • Our specialists point the flashing tightly, utilising mortar or a lead sealing compound.
  • Patination oil is applied to preserve staining and preserve the finish.
