Leadwork in Seaford

Expert Intervention to Keep Roofs Around Eastbourne Watertight & Functional

Leadwork is an essential component of roofing, often used to protect and seal areas where different parts of the roof meet. Commonly applied around chimneys, valleys, dormers, and skylights, leadwork provides a watertight seal, preventing leaks and water damage. As a trusted roofer serving Seaford, Eastbourne, and all surrounding locations, we carry out both leadwork installation and leadwork repair, ensuring that properties are weatherproof, and enjoy an impressively long lifespan, free of reoccurring issues.

When Might Your Leadwork Need Updating?

Regular inspections are key to maintaining leadwork’s effectiveness. Over time, lead can experience wear-and-tear, eventually splitting or cracking. This can leave roofs around Seaford and Eastbourne vulnerable to water penetration.

Common signs that your leadwork might require TLC include:

Cracks or splits in the lead
Loose or missing flashing around chimneys or skylights
Discolouration or corrosion of the lead
Water stains or leaks inside the property

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call a professional roofer. Nichols Roofing offers comprehensive leadwork inspections and leadwork repair services to help prevent costly damage to your home or business.
