Flashing Repair Cost
If your ceiling is staining near a chimney, an abutment wall or a porch, the odds are heavily on the flashing rather than the roof covering. Flashing is the metalwork that bridges a joint, and joints are where water gets clever. This page covers what renewal costs per metre and how to work out whether the flashing is really your culprit.
- Code 4 lead, 180 to 350 per linear metre installed
- Code 5 for chimneys and parapets, 220 to 420 per metre
- Porch and dormer aprons, 200 to 500 each
- Chase raked out and repointed, not smeared over
- Cast lead, not painted on substitutes

What we replace and what we keep
Flashing repairs, common questions
Can flashband or a sealant be a permanent fix?+
No. It sticks, it looks like a repair, and it fails within a couple of years as it bakes and lifts, usually leaving a worse surface to bond to. We use it for temporary make safe only, and we say so.
How long should lead flashing last?+
Properly sized, dressed and wedged lead should outlive the covering it is fitted to, comfortably several decades. Lead that has been fitted too thin or over long unsupported runs fatigues and splits much sooner.
Do you need scaffold for chimney flashing?+
Often yes for a stack in the middle of a roof slope, because it is a working position rather than a reach. We include the access cost in the quote rather than adding it later.
