Blackwood is a valleys town with a pedestrianised high street and terraced housing typical of the South Wales valleys, and like anywhere in South Wales, its roofs aren't immune to needing leadwork & flashing. Good leadwork can protect a roof for many years, but damaged or incorrectly installed flashing is also one of the most common causes of roof leaks.
What's Usually Going On
Good leadwork can protect a roof for many years, but damaged or incorrectly installed flashing is also one of the most common causes of roof leaks.
Signs Your Lead Flashing May Need Attention
Problems can include visible splits, sections lifting away from brickwork, staining inside the property and recurring leaks around chimneys or adjoining walls. Older leadwork can eventually deteriorate through years of expansion and contraction. Replacing defective flashing correctly can often solve a persistent leak without requiring unnecessary replacement of the entire roof.
In Blackwood specifically, it's worth factoring in the age and construction of your property — older buildings tend to need closer attention around original roof junctions and detailing than newer, tightly-built homes.
