Lead Work


Lead flashing plays a crucial role in keeping your roof watertight, especially around chimneys, walls, valleys, and other roof junctions. When installed properly, lead is extremely durable and weather-resistant — but over time, it can crack, lift, or corrode, especially with Auckland’s wind, rain, and salt air.
At M.J.S. Roof and House Maintenance, we carry out all types of lead work, from minor repairs to full replacement of flashings and soakers. We use traditional methods combined with modern sealants to ensure strong, long-lasting results. Whether you’re dealing with a leak or just aged lead in need of attention, we’ll make sure your roof stays protected and looking sharp.
We carefully shape and install each piece of lead to fit the contours of your roof, ensuring a tight, weatherproof seal. Proper overlap and secure fixing are key to preventing future leaks and allowing the lead to move naturally with temperature changes, avoiding cracks and early wear.
