Lead Slate and Lead Roofing Self Help Videos

A Video Demonstration of Fitting a Back Gutter to a Chimney

 Lead slates are traditional and have been used for many years to weather pipes as they pass through the roof. Owing to the different combination of pipe flashings, due to pipe size and roof pitch, there is a need for a bespoke fabrication service to make and supply lead slates to the clients requirements.  Our customer include HETAS registered firms, roofing and tile companies, builders, self build and DIY.  We supply lead slates for any situation flat, pitched and ridge.  They are made from code 4 sheet lead (unless instructed otherwise) Our service allows the purchase of single items and larger quanities depending on your needs. With a 48 hour service on most of our orders, the need for clients to stock lead slates and the cost involved can be reduced. Help and advise is just a phone call or Email away.

Failure of flashing to chimneys is often a concern. If you experience a leaking roof or chimney leak the first thing to check is the lead flashing. Although the material it self is unlikely to fail the fixing methods, pointing and bossing methods may. In some cases it just a question of dressing and repointing.  If however the components are damaged and beyond new flashing should be fitted in accordance with "Lead Sheet Association code of good practice"

At the request of customers we intend to make a video demonstrating the fitting of a lead Slate (pipe flashing) to a pitched, slated roof and should be available in the next 10 days. Good luck
