The experts at McCarthy Roofing Ltd offer various services to maintain and improve the health, safety and aesthetic appeal of roofs in Virginia Water and the surrounding areas. We cover everything from roofing leadwork, roof leak repairs, clay tiles and guttering repairs to torch-on felt roofing, roof damage assessments and lead flashing installations. Our domestic roofers provide services for both pitched roofing and flat roofing.
Lead flashing is a key component of roofs because it protects them from adverse weather conditions and extends their lifespans. If they are damaged or have deteriorated over time, they should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible to keep roofs and homes healthy. Here, we look at some main signs that indicate you require lead flashing repairs or replacements:
There will be visual indicators of wear and tear that will have occurred over time due to constant exposure to the elements. They may be less obvious to notice than significant damage, but colour changes are a sign to look out for. If the roofing leadwork looks dull or blotchy or a powdery film covers it, then it may be time to call the professionals. We offer full flat and pitched roofing inspections and will advise on the work your lead flashings need.
If you’ve noticed water stains around your home or around Virginia Water, it's time to inspect your lead flashing, especially if the staining is under the flashing. The lead should be checked for splits or other signs of damage because our domestic roofers will need to be contacted to resolve the issues immediately. Compromised flashings can cause dangerous water ingress and can lead to structural damage.
Our experts cover leadwork repairs, replacements and installations. We also provide roof leak repairs to keep pitched and flat roofing in top condition.
Rusted flashings are a strong and unattractive indicator that the lead no longer provides reliable water protection for your property. Rust will present itself with a reddish-brown surface colour and have a rough texture; corrosion is likely present when you notice splits and cracks.
