Chimney lead flashing work by Select Roofing Services, Merseyside

The Craft — 01

Lead flashing dressed by hand, not bent from a roll

Anyone can nail a strip of flashing to a chimney. Getting it to fold properly around a stack, sit flush against every brick course and shed water for thirty years is a different skill entirely — the kind you only really learn by doing it thousands of times.

Every piece of leadwork we fit is dressed by hand on site, cut and folded to the exact stack it's going on, not a generic pre-formed strip. It's slower. It's also the difference between a chimney that stays watertight and one that doesn't.

Simple process

What's Wrong With My Roof?

Tick anything you're seeing. This points you to the likely cause — it's not a diagnosis, a proper survey confirms it.

Missing, cracked or slipped tiles or slates Green staining (verdigris) running down brickwork below a chimney Damp patch on a ceiling near a chimney breast or valley Mould in the corner of a sloped dormer ceiling, or a persistent damp smell Condensation on the inside of a dormer window even with heating on Standing water, cracking or bubbling on a flat roof Green or black staining, algae or moss on the tiles Sudden leak or storm damage right now

Tick anything that applies above to see what it usually points to.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new roof cost in Merseyside? +

Every roof is different, so costs vary considerably. A typical terraced house re-roof in Merseyside ranges from around £3,500 to £7,000 depending on size, materials and condition, with semi-detached properties typically ranging from £5,000 to £10,000. We always provide a free, detailed written quote before any work begins — no surprises, no hidden extras.

How quickly can you respond to a roof emergency? +

We prioritise genuine roof emergencies and aim to attend as quickly as possible — often the same day. Call us directly on 07596 884288 for the fastest response. In the meantime, WhatsApp us a photo of the damage and we can advise you on immediate steps to limit further water ingress.

Are you fully insured? +

Yes. We carry full public liability insurance on every job we undertake. Our insurance certificates are available on request before any work begins — simply ask and we will provide them.

Do you guarantee your work? +

All work carried out by Select Roofing Services comes with a 10-year written guarantee. If the same fault recurs within the guarantee period, we return and resolve it at no charge. The guarantee is issued in writing on completion of every job.

Do I need planning permission to replace my roof? +

In most cases, replacing a domestic roof with the same or similar materials does not require planning permission. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may be subject to different rules. We will advise you on this during your free survey. It is your responsibility to obtain any permissions required, but we are happy to guide you through the process.

Are you Checkatrade approved? +

Yes. You can view our verified Checkatrade profile, including genuine reviews from past customers, at checkatrade.com/trades/selectroofingservices. We're proud of our record there and happy for you to check it before booking.

Does living near the coast in Ainsdale or Hightown affect my roof? +

Yes, noticeably. Salt-laden coastal winds accelerate wear on pointing, flashing and ridge tiles compared to inland properties — mortar that lasts 25-30 years inland may need attention in 15-20 years in exposed coastal spots. We specify materials accordingly. See our dedicated pages on roofing in Ainsdale and chimney repairs in Hightown for the detail specific to each area.
