FAQ

Lead Work Bar End — Questions

Full chimney lead set: £400–£800. Valley replacement: £450–£900. Bay roof lead: £350–£650. Lead redress (minor): £150–£350. Free survey — call 01962 809171.

1952–1975 Bar End properties have lead work from the 1960s–80s now approaching end of design life. We assess all lead elements at the free survey.

Code 4 minimum for cover flashings and soakers. Code 5 for back gutters and valley linings. We specify code on every Bar End lead work quote and never install below BS 6915 minimum.

Where the lead is structurally sound but has lifted at a chase, re-dressing (£150–£350) is appropriate and cost-effective. Where the lead has failed through the section or been repeatedly patched, full replacement is the honest recommendation.

Yes — soaker presence is confirmed at every Bar End chimney survey. Step flashings without soakers behind them have only one waterproofing layer at the sides and fail sooner. We install correct soakers on all Bar End lead replacements.

Correctly specified code 4 chimney flashings: 50–70 years. Code 5 back gutters and valleys: 60–80 years. Lead work we install in Bar End today is designed to outlast the current ownership.

Active water ingress from a failed chimney lead should be addressed within 24–48 hours. Call 01962 809171 for a same-day or next-morning assessment across Bar End.
