Lead Work & Flashing in Driffield
Lead does the hard work on Driffield’s older roofs: the valleys between the pitched wings of Wolds farmhouses, the flashings around tall market-town chimney stacks, and the bay-window tops on Victorian villas. Old lead splits with thermal movement, especially where it was laid in lengths too long for its code, and wind-driven rain off the Wolds finds every failed lap. We renew valleys, flashings and soakers in the correct code lead with proper laps and fixings, so the junctions stay dry for decades rather than years.

Lead Work in Driffield: local factors
Where a later, taller elevation stands against an older, lower one, as it does in the northern conservation area, the junction between the two is lead. Stepped flashings tucked into the brick joints, soakers matched to whatever covering meets them, and a free-moving cover flashing keep the junction dry, with every piece cut from lead of the code that detail needs, since abutments are usually where a roof leaks first.
