Frequently asked — Leadwork in Pangbourne
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Pangbourne chimneys come from old mortar fillets, fatigued lead or missing soakers — not the bricks. Properly dressed and welded code 4 or 5 lead is the fix.
Do you weld lead on site?+
Yes — full on-site lead welding for bay roofs, dormers, box gutters and bespoke flashings across Pangbourne. It's a traditional craft and our biggest USP.
What code of lead do you use?+
Code 4 for most flashings, Code 5 for valleys and abutments, Code 6+ for bay/dormer roofs. We use the right code for the job — no shortcuts.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in RG8 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
Do you fit lead trays on replacement windows?+
Yes — every time we install or replace a dormer or bay where the window meets a flat surface, a proper bossed lead tray with cover flashing is essential.
