Professional Leadwork and Roof Flashing Services
Amac Roofing provides expert leadwork and flashing services designed to keep your home watertight and protected against the elements. Based in the Waterside area of Derry/Londonderry, we bring over 30 years of industry experience to every project. We understand that leadwork is the most critical component of a roof system, serving as the essential seal between roof materials and vertical surfaces like chimneys and walls. Whether you are dealing with a historic property in need of careful restoration or a modern build requiring durable weatherproofing, our team delivers traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency.
Why is Leadwork Essential for Your Roof
Lead is the industry standard for roof flashing because of its incredible durability, flexibility, and longevity. When installed correctly, high-quality lead provides a virtually permanent seal that can withstand the harsh Atlantic weather conditions common across the region. At Amac Roofing, we specialise in the installation and repair of all critical lead components, including lead valleys, chimney aprons, step flashing, and lead soakers. Properly maintained leadwork prevents water ingress, which is the most common cause of internal damp, rot, and structural damage within the roof space. By choosing our expert team, you ensure that these vulnerable transition points are correctly sealed to stop leaks before they start.

Who We Are
Our Process for Quality Lead Replacement
We follow a meticulous process to ensure every piece of lead is installed to Lead Sheet Association standards. Our team begins with a thorough inspection of your existing flashing to identify signs of corrosion, cracking, or movement. We then carefully remove the compromised material, clearing any debris from the affected area to ensure a clean surface. Using high-quality, sustainably sourced lead, we cut and dress the new flashing to the precise dimensions of your roof. This creates a secure, weather-tight fit that accounts for thermal expansion and contraction. We finalise each job with appropriate fixing methods to ensure the lead remains firmly in place for decades to come.

07393 355531Frequently Asked Questions About Lead Flashing
How do I know if my lead flashing needs replacing? Common signs include visible cracks in the lead, loose or missing mortar around the chimney, or water stains appearing on ceilings near chimneys or walls. If you spot these, it is time for a professional inspection. How long does new leadwork last? When installed by experienced professionals using high-quality materials, lead flashing can easily last for several decades, often outliving the roof tiles themselves. Can you match my existing roof aesthetic? Yes, we pride ourselves on traditional techniques that ensure our repairs blend seamlessly with the existing character of your property, which is particularly important for older or listed buildings. We encourage you to visit our other service pages on Chimney Rebuilding and Emergency Roof Repairs for more information on how we maintain your entire roof structure.
Answers to common questions about our Leadwork And Flashing in Campbeltown
How long should my roof flashing last?
When installed correctly using high-quality lead, roof flashing can last 60 to 100 years. However, factors like extreme weather exposure or poor installation can shorten this. If your flashing was fitted with the wrong "code" of lead or wasn't allowed room to expand, it may crack much sooner. We recommend a quick visual check every few years to look for signs of splitting or lifting.
Can you repair a lead leak without replacing the whole roof?
Yes, in most cases we can. If the leak is isolated to a specific area like a chimney apron or a small section of a lead valley, we can perform a targeted repair or replacement of that section. We always aim to be cost-effective and will only recommend a full replacement if the lead has reached the end of its natural life and is beyond a reliable repair.
Why is lead better than plastic or bitumen flashing tapes?
Flashband or bitumen tapes are temporary fixes. They often fail after a few seasons because the adhesive dries out or the material cracks under UV light. Lead is a permanent solution. It is flexible, handles temperature changes without failing, and adds value to your property. While the initial cost is higher than a "stick-on" repair, it saves you money in the long run by preventing recurring leaks and internal damage.
Does my chimney need repointing when you fix the flashing?
Often, the two go hand-in-hand. When we remove old lead, we frequently find that the mortar in the chimney stack has started to crumble. To ensure a watertight seal, we usually recommend repointing the area where the lead is "tucked" into the brickwork. We can also assess the overall health of your chimney and carry out any necessary rebuilding or capping while we have the scaffolding in place.
