Leak Risk Profile
Eltham Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Eltham
Skylight flashings on 1980s and 1990s homes are a reliable source of leak calls. The lead or aluminium apron flashing around a skylight is subject to thermal movement in both planes simultaneously — longitudinal and lateral — and eventually fails at the corners.
Why It Happens
Lead flashings fail through fatigue — repeated thermal movement over decades works the lead at fold lines until it cracks. Lead has a low fatigue life at bending points and eventually fails mechanically rather than through corrosion. Sealant-only repairs don't address this mechanism.
How We Fix It
Parapet flashing repairs involve exposing the flashing turn-down at the wall cap, re-setting it into a cut chase or under the wall cap mortar, and sealing with a UV-stable mastic. We don't seal over an existing flashing that has lost its mechanical engagement with the wall.
