Leadwork Falkirk & Stirling

About leadwork & dry ridge

Failed lead flashing and valleys are one of the most common causes of roof leaks, and a surprising number of leaks blamed on tiles or slates actually trace back to deteriorated leadwork. Anderson Roofing & Building strips out old, failed lead and installs new, correctly detailed leadwork across Falkirk — valleys, chimney flashing and abutments — sealed fully watertight. Dry ridge and verge systems are also fitted in place of traditional mortar bedding, giving a mechanically fixed, long-lasting finish that will not crack and fall away the way old mortar ridges do.

Signs you need leadwork & dry ridge

Cracked or missing mortar along the ridge or verge, green staining or moss growth around chimney flashing, and leaks that appear specifically around valleys or chimney stacks all point to leadwork or ridge detailing needing attention. Old lead that has become brittle, split or lifted at the edges is no longer doing its job even if it still looks intact from ground level.

Our leadwork & dry ridge options

Anderson Roofing replaces lead valleys, chimney flashing and abutment detailing, and installs dry ridge and dry verge systems as an alternative to traditional mortar bedding. Leadwork is commonly combined with roof repairs or a full re-roof where several areas need attention. Contact 07719 886854 for an inspection and free quote on leadwork or dry ridge installation.
