Lead Flashing Replacement in Fife – Avoid Leaks With Proper Roof Sealing
At Fife Roofers, we were recently called out to a property in Fife where the existing cement flashing had become porous and was no longer offering adequate protection against water ingress. Over time, cement can degrade and crack, leaving gaps along your roofline where water can easily seep in. The most effective, long-lasting solution? Installing new lead flashing.
Why Lead Flashing?
Lead flashing is the gold standard when it comes to weatherproofing your roof. Flexible, durable, and resistant to cracking or movement, it’s perfect for sealing roof joins, chimneys, conservatory junctions, and more. In this Fife roofing job, we removed all defective cement mortar and installed high-quality lead flashing for an airtight seal that will protect the property for years to come.
Signs You May Need Flashing Replaced
- Visible cracks or crumbling cement on your roofline.
- Leaks inside your loft or near the chimney breast.
- Damp patches or rot forming around roofing structures.
