Replacement Lead Flashings, Blyth
Every Blyth roof with a chimney, dormer or side extension has flashing somewhere, and it's the single most common thing we replace. A one-day job on most stacks. Two days for a full front-and-back plus side gutters. We're regularly on roofs close to the A189, out around Port of Blyth, through Cowpen and Newsham.
- Code 4 or Code 5 lead as the location demands — no thin turn-up stuff
- Chased into a fresh mortar joint, not silicone-glued to the render
- Stepped, soaker and back-gutter details all dressed by hand
- Sand:cement pointing finish, not mastic
- Old lead recycled and credited off the invoice where the weight justifies it
- Patination oil applied to prevent white-carbonate staining on new lead

Lead flashing replacement in Blyth — FAQs
Can you just point the mortar rather than re-lead?+
Only if the lead itself is sound and it's only the joint that's failed. Nine times out of ten the lead has hardened and cracked too — a fresh point over cracked lead lasts one winter.
How long does new lead flashing last?+
30–50 years for Code 4 in a normal exposure. Longer with patination oil applied at install to stop the initial white staining that runs onto tiles below.
Do you cover the chimney pot and cowl too?+
Yes — if the pot needs re-flaunching or a cowl fitting, we price that separately in the quote so you can choose to include it or not.
Which Blyth postcodes do you cover?+
NE24 — plus Cramlington, Bedlington, Ashington.
