Frequently Asked Questions — Leadwork in Edinburgh
How long does lead flashing last?
Correctly installed lead flashing using the right code of lead can last 60 years or more. Failures are usually caused by inadequate fixings, incorrect Code or poor original installation.
What is a lead valley?
A lead valley is a channel formed in lead running along the junction of two roof slopes. It channels rainwater safely down the roof to the gutters. Lead valleys are very durable and give a traditional appearance.
