Chimneys are one of the most common sources of roof leaks, especially in older properties across Fulham. While the brickwork may appear solid from the outside, the real issue often lies in the chimney’s flashings, the protective leadwork that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof. When flashings are poorly installed, split, or deteriorating, they allow water to seep into the property. One of the easiest ways to identify a problem is by checking your loft. If you see daylight around the chimney breast, damp patches, or signs of mould, your flashings are likely failing and in need of repair.

One of the most common issues we encounter is faulty chimney flashing. Unfortunately, this is a job many roofers rush or complete incorrectly, leading to persistent leaks and repeat repairs. Quick fixes such as tars, mastics, or weatherproof paints may temporarily mask the problem, but they never last. Over time, these stopgaps break down, allowing water to penetrate the roof structure once again, often causing extended and costly damage. That’s why investing in proper lead flashing installation from the start is essential. When done correctly by experienced professionals like our team at High Range Roofing, new flashings can last for decades without issue.
