Local service overview
Lead flashing and leadwork in Perth
Tay & Tile provides lead flashing and leadwork through the Roof Repair Perth website for local homeowners and property owners. See how our leadwork and roof repair in Perth considers leadwork together with adjoining materials.
Leadwork guides rain back onto the roof at an interruption in the covering; it needs correct laps, support and freedom to move rather than a surface seal alone.
Sandstone walls, chimneyed slate roofs and later extensions create many lead junctions across Perth's building stock, each with a different water path.
Correct support, laps and fixing allow the detail to shed water while accommodating normal movement.
We explain the evidence, the proposed repair and the access assumptions in a free written quotation before work is agreed.
