Pro Dec Roofing is dedicated to keeping your property warm and dry
As Hertfordshire’s first choice for roofs, Pro Dec Roofing knows how important flashing is, no matter what style of roof your home or commercial property has.
- Flat roofs – flashing is the first defence against water penetration
- Pitched roofs – where two roofs are joined forming valleys, flashing is essential to stop water pouring into the property
Pro Dec Roofing promises peace of mind
Flashing has traditionally been used as a joining or sealing agent. Wherever slates or tiles meet another fitting – roof valleys, chimney stacks or skylights for example, you will find flashing.
The key purpose of lead flashing is to stop water seeping into the main structure from a joint.
For centuries lead was the industry’s metal of choice - it is a relatively soft substance that is easy to mould without splitting or cracking – and it will remain effective for many, many years.
Today, other metals – such as zinc – are becoming increasingly popular, providing a great alternative. At Pro Dec Roofing we are happy to discuss the best option for you.
Choosing the right material for your roof
Pro Dec Roofing is always happy to discuss the best options with our customers and we can provide a range of flashing materials.
With years of experience under our belts, we believe lead sheeting offers the most comprehensive protection against weathering and damage, thus extending the life of your roof or repair.
However, should you wish to consider a different option, our skilled team are adept at working in other popular materials.
Tell me more about zinc flashing
Efficiency and cost effectiveness are two of our watchwords here at Pro Dec Roofing. And we are on hand to find the right roof flashing solution for you.
Zinc flashing has been growing in popularity over the past few years and offers affordable, long-lasting protection from the elements.
Zinc flashing sheets offer first-rate corrosion resistance properties and are often used as a substitute for lead.
Like lead, zinc is also very malleable, making it a good choice when flashing around complex shapes is required.
