Lead is commonly used in roofing systems to seal the joins between two surfaces. This is known as flashing; the lead forms a barrier between the roof and the brickwork or the roof and chimney, preventing leaks and keeping your property safe from outside elements. JTF Roofing Ltd conducts leadwork in Maidstone. Please read our testimonials to find out more about the first-class services our roofing company can deliver.
As a highly versatile material, lead is a popular choice for roof repairs and flashing installations alike. It is flexible, so it can be moulded to fit complex roof shapes, and it’s highly durable with a natural resistance to water and corrosion.

VIEW MORERoof flashings, most commonly made from lead, are designed to ensure your roof is watertight and durable. They prevent rainwater from seeping into the interior of your property and causing a range of issues, from damp to compromising the roof’s structural integrity.
While there are many roof flashing materials available today, lead - thanks to its aesthetic appeal as well as its strength and durability - is the most popular choice.
Quality lead flashing from a professional roofing company can last for decades. It will extend the lifespan of your roof since it reduces the risk of cracks in flat roofing materials or damage to the tiles on pitched structures.
Lead roof work can also be carried out on properties across Maidstone to reinforce and seal gutters, joins, vents, valleys or skylights.
Over the years, lead has earned a reputation as one of the best roof coverings available. It is a reliable choice for both pitched and flat roofing systems and offers a great deal of malleability. Unlike its alternatives, lead flashing expands and contracts as the temperature changes, so the risk of it cracking and needing to be repaired is significantly reduced.
Other benefits of leadwork include:
As most homeowners will know, roofing works are a crucial investment when it comes to maintaining your property.
