Repairing, replacing, and installing on your roof in Ede
Gutters, lead flashing and roof edges
Lead and zinc can be found where your roof connects or ends, such as around chimneys, along the roof edge, and in the gutters. Leadwork is primarily found around chimneys and dormers, consisting of lead flashing and lead joints. Zinc work involves zinc gutters, zinc mouldings, and wall copings. We repair lead and zinc where it is loose or open, and replace it if repairs are insufficient. If all lead and zinc work is due for replacement, for example during a renovation, we renew it all at once. Our roofers carry out lead and zinc work themselves, so you do not need to look for a separate zinc specialist. At a roof renovation At Santos, we also pay attention to the lead and connections.

Signals on your roof
What you can see for yourself
If a lead flashing comes loose from the chimney, a seam in the zinc gutter is open, or you see corrosion and holes in the zinc, it is time for a repair. A damp spot near the chimney or a leak along the gutter is also a reason to have it inspected. You can read more about leaks at roof leak.

Frequently asked questions for our roofers in Ede
About soldering, metals, and warranty
Below, you can read whether lead and zinc can be combined, whether you can solder lead to zinc, and what the difference between the two metals is. The warranty is also discussed, as well as when repairing is smarter than replacing everything.
Yes, those two metals can be soldered together. The solder must adhere well for this, and that requires clean metals and the correct temperature. Because this work is performed at height, it is best to leave it to a roofer.
Yes, lead and zinc are often used side by side on a roof. Think of lead around the chimney and zinc flashing along the roof edge of the same roof. If copper is also present on your roof, we examine how the metals connect during the roof inspection.
Lead is heavy and soft, and can be hammered into the shape of the roof by hand. It is primarily used where the roofing meets masonry, such as roof lead and flashing around a chimney. Zinc comes in sheets and is formed into gutters, zinc moldings, and wall copings.
Because Santos, after more than 400 jobs, sees where a roof weakens and we address the cause, you receive a five-year warranty on materials and labor for lead and zinc work. Upon completion, a digital warranty certificate will follow, including the completion date and the work performed. The warranty applies to work carried out by our roofers themselves.
That depends on what we see on your roof. If the problem is localized, such as a loose lead flashing or an open seam, a minor roof repair is often sufficient. If the lead or zinc is torn or loose in many places, we will discuss replacement. The roof inspection is free, so you will know in advance.

The old mortar under our ridge tiles had completely crumbled due to frost. Dakdekker Specialist Ede removed all the old material and re-secured the ridge tiles with a modern, flexible roofing mortar. As a proactive roofer, he worked very neatly, and the tiled roof is ready to last for many more years.

We had the flat roof of our garage fitted with seamless EPDM by Roofer Specialist Ede. This experienced roofer provided excellent input regarding the upstand and the zinc roof trim.

Recently had bird-repellent brushes installed under the bottom row of roof tiles to keep birds out from under the roof. The installation was completed within an hour, and we haven't had to worry about it since.
