Lead Work & Flashing in Brough
Lead detailing on the older homes through Elloughton and Brantingham — valley linings, chimney flashings, the tops of bay windows — was often installed generations ago and has quietly earned its keep ever since. When it finally splits or slips, we renew it in the correct code of lead for the job, dressed and jointed properly rather than smeared with sealant. Newer Brough homes need lead too, wherever tiles meet brickwork, and we detail those junctions to the same standard.

Lead Work in Brough: local factors
Half-hipped roofs are an occasional feature of the conservation area, a mid-Victorian flourish that leaves short hips and tight junctions where the hip meets the main slope. Details like that stand or fall on their leadwork. Lead is worked in the code suited to its position, with laps and fixings that let the sheet move, because lead that cannot expand eventually splits.

A cracked flaunch — the mortar cap on top of a chimney in Brough — was letting water straight into the stack, the usual cause of damp on a chimney breast. We stripped the old flaunch off, formed a fresh one with a proper weathering slope, and fitted a capping cowl to keep rain and birds out while still letting the flue breathe. A half-day job that spared the stack a full rebuild down the line.
