Tile Replacement & Lead Flashing Restoration – Brentwood, Essex
We recently completed a detailed roofing repair project at a property in Brentwood, Essex, where failing leadwork and displaced tiles were putting the home at risk of ongoing water damage. The affected section had suffered from slipped tiles, deteriorated battens, and compromised lead flashing around a key roof junction — leaving the area exposed to the weather and vulnerable to further deterioration.
Project Overview
Location: Brentwood, Essex
Service: Roof tile replacement & lead flashing repairs
Project Challenges
The original roof had developed several issues, including:
- Missing and slipped tiles
- Damaged underlay and weakened battens
- Poorly fitted or aged lead flashing
- Water penetration risk near the roof junction and dormer detail
Our Repair Work
To restore the integrity of the roof, we carried out a full repair process:
- Carefully removed all loose and broken tiles
- Installed new treated battens to provide solid, long-term support
- Fitted new tiles to match the existing roof for a seamless finish
- Repaired and replaced lead flashing, ensuring proper dressing and sealing
- Checked surrounding areas for potential vulnerabilities and secured all tiles
Final Result
The roof is now fully watertight, structurally reinforced, and visually consistent with the original design. The renewed lead flashing provides long-lasting protection from the elements, while the replaced tiles give the property a clean, restored appearance. These improvements significantly reduce future maintenance needs and enhance the overall durability of the roof.
