Expert lead flashing repair and replacement across Stoke-on-Trent. BS 6915:2016 compliant. Chimney, valley and roof abutment specialists.
Lead flashing is the single most critical weatherproofing element at chimneys, valleys and roof abutments on Stoke-on-Trent properties — and on the Victorian terrace stock that characterises so much of the Potteries, original lead work is often approaching or beyond the end of its natural serviceable life. When lead flashings fail, water tracks directly into roof structures and can cause ingress across multiple rooms before the source is identified.
The shared chimney stacks on Burslem, Hanley, Tunstall and Cobridge terraces are particularly demanding from a lead flashing perspective. A typical two-flue shared stack requires step flashings, back gutters, front aprons and soakers on both faces — each junction presenting a potential leak point. Aether Roofing Solutions carries out all lead flashing work to BS 6915:2016 standards, using the correct code lead for each application and forming fully dressed details that direct water away from the junction.
We cover lead flashing repair and replacement at chimneys, valleys, dormers, Velux windows, soil vent pipes and all roof abutments across ST1 to ST6. Our full Staffordshire lead flashing repair service is backed by a 10-year guarantee alongside our comprehensive chimney repair service.

Step flashings at the junction of chimney stacks with pitched roof slopes are the most frequently failing lead detail on Stoke-on-Trent terraces. We cut and dress new step flashings to BS 6915:2016 specification, ensuring adequate upstand into the brickwork and correct overlap at each step.
Back gutters and soakers at the rear of chimney stacks on Potteries terraces are a primary source of roof leaks. We form correctly dimensioned back gutters in the appropriate lead code, ensuring adequate clearance from the masonry and correct weathering falls.
Lead valleys in Stoke-on-Trent’s Victorian housing stock are subject to thermal cycling that eventually causes fatigue cracking, particularly where the lead has been laid in excessive lengths without expansion joints. We replace failed lead valleys to the correct BS 6915:2016 details with appropriate bay lengths.
Parapet walls and abutments on Stoke-on-Trent properties — common on Victorian terraces with raised party walls — require correctly formed cavity tray flashings and DPC details. We repair and replace these details to prevent water tracking through the masonry and into the roof void.
Dormer windows on Stoke-on-Trent Victorian terrace conversions and Velux-type roof windows are frequently a source of leaks when their lead flashings age. We re-flash dormers and roof windows using correct lead codes and dressing techniques to create a lasting weathertight junction.
Where lead flashings on Stoke-on-Trent properties are structurally intact but have lifted, cracked or lost their mortar pointing, re-dressing and re-pointing can restore weathertightness without full replacement. We assess whether repair or replacement provides better value for each specific situation.
