Leaky lead flashings

3 December 2012

The lead flashings on our house have come loose and water is penetrating into the walls. Can they be re-fixed and how much should it cost to carry out this work?

Answers

The flashing needs to be pulled away from the wall, the brickwork joint raked out, the flashing reset and the joint re-pointed. This should cost about £8 per linear metre for horizontal flashings and £12 for stepped flashings. These rates exclude the cost of scaffolding.
