The Problem We Solve
Most roof leaks aren't the tiles, they're the junctions. The lead flashing around your chimney, the valley between two roof slopes, the apron where a roof meets a wall: these are the spots where old, cracked or poorly dressed lead lets water in. It shows up as damp patches on upstairs walls and ceilings, and it only gets worse until the lead is renewed properly.
