Professional leadwork and flashing services in Kirkcaldy
RM & SON ROOFING & PROPERTY CARE provides expert leadwork and flashing solutions designed to keep your home watertight against the unpredictable Scottish weather. Lead is a remarkably durable material when installed correctly, acting as the primary defence for vulnerable joints, chimneys, and valleys where water is most likely to penetrate. As a dedicated local sole trader, I bring years of hands-on experience to every project, ensuring that your roof is shielded from the heavy rain and coastal winds common across Fife.
Why is high-quality flashing essential for your roof?
Flashing is the critical link between your roof surface and vertical structures like chimneys, walls, and skylights. If this seal fails, moisture quickly finds a path into your roof space, leading to rot, dampness, and costly structural damage to your rafters and ceilings. We specialise in traditional lead bossing and welding, techniques that provide the necessary expansion and contraction capabilities to survive the temperature fluctuations found throughout the year in Fife. Whether your property is modern or a period build in historic St Andrews, our custom-fitted leadwork provides a long-term, weatherproof seal that concrete or bitumen alternatives simply cannot match.

Who We Are
Our step-by-step approach to lead repair and installation
The process begins with a comprehensive site survey where we assess the condition of your existing leadwork. We look for common issues such as cracking, splitting, or loose pointing that may allow water ingress. Once we have identified the fault, we provide a transparent, free, no-obligation quote for the necessary work. When you choose to proceed, we remove the damaged lead, prepare the underlying substrate, and install high-quality lead sheeting using appropriate fixings to meet current building standards. We conclude every project with a thorough inspection to ensure the finished installation is secure and aesthetically integrated with your existing roofline.

Answers to common questions about our Leadwork And Flashing in Kirkcaldy
What are the signs that my leadwork needs repairing?
The most common signs are water spots on your ceiling, particularly around the chimney or where two roof sections meet. If you look at the roof from the ground, you might see lead that has "crept" (slid down), cracked, or pulled out of the brickwork. If the lead looks thin or has holes, it’s time for a replacement.
Can you repair lead instead of replacing the whole thing?
Sometimes, yes. If the damage is localised—like a small crack—we can often perform lead welding to seal the gap. However, if the lead is very old and has become "fatigued" (thin and brittle across the whole sheet), a full replacement is usually the better, more cost-effective long-term solution.
Is lead safe to have on my roof?
Absolutely. Modern milled lead is perfectly safe when handled by professionals. We use patination oil to stop lead carbonate from washing off, which protects your tiles and the environment. It is one of the most recycled building materials in the world, making it a surprisingly eco-friendly choice for weatherproofing.
How long does a lead valley replacement take?
Most standard lead valley or chimney flashing jobs can be completed within a day or two, depending on the weather and the height of the roof. We always aim to get the work done quickly to ensure your home isn't exposed to the elements for any longer than necessary.
