Is this the help you need?

Short answer
Flashings protect roof junctions. When they lift, split or pull away from masonry, water can track behind an otherwise sound roof covering.

Questions to ask before work starts
These answers explain what photos can show, what still needs inspection and how access and quotation details are agreed.
All Dundee roofing FAQsCan you quote for leadwork and flashing repairs from photographs?
Photos often help us understand the likely problem and the safest next step. A final quote may still need a close site inspection, especially where the source of water is hidden.
What else is checked with leadwork and flashing repairs?
A sound leadwork and flashing repairs plan should include the surrounding covering, fixings, flashings and water route rather than treating one visible symptom on its own.
Will leadwork and flashing repairs need scaffolding?
Safe access for leadwork and flashing repairs depends on the height, roof shape and surroundings. The quotation should explain the proposed access after the roof has been assessed.
Can leadwork and flashing repairs be completed in wet or windy weather?
Some make-safe work may be possible, but permanent leadwork and flashing repairs needs suitable conditions and a safe surface. Never climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
