Lead Work & Flashing in Howden
Around Howden Minster, leadwork is part of the architectural language, and repairs to valleys, bay-window roofs and flashings on the town's period properties should be carried out in kind — real code lead, worked traditionally. That is exactly how we do it, with correct laps, thicknesses and fixings throughout. Our leadwork service covers Howden, Eastrington, Newport and the rest of Howdenshire, and being based in Gilberdyke we are never far away if a detail needs checking.

Lead Work in Howden: local factors
Listed buildings here are typically brick, which decides how a flashing is fixed: a chase cut into a bed joint, the lead dressed in, wedged and pointed, rather than anything relying on sealant. Lead splits when a single length is too long to move with temperature, so step flashings, soakers and valley linings are formed in sections, in the correct code, and left free to expand.
