How To Install Step Flashing | Roofing Megastore

Step flashings are necessary when a roof runs into a wall or meets a chimney. Unlike apron flashings, the lead roll is formed in a step-like pattern and penetrates into the courses between the bricks. This does not only allow you to leave the bricks themselves untouched, but also provides a beautiful aesthetic.

To create a step flashing you will require the appropriate code lead, all of which can be found at https://bit.ly/2SvVsBf. You'll also require both a quick flash tool and lead dresser, which are available at https://bit.ly/2EicHlh. Lastly, you'll require either 6 - 18mm or 18 - 26mm hall clips to ensure the lead is snuggly fitted into the chase of your brickwork. You can view all our hall clips at https://bit.ly/2TYDKaA.

In this video from British Lead, the UK's leading manufacturer of rolled lead sheets, we show you how to install step flashings. If you have any further questions, simply get in touch with our team online or by telephone.
