The details that keep your roof sealed

By Smienk Dakwerken

Where does a roof leak most often? Rarely in the middle of the roof surface, usually at the connections: around the chimney, against a wall or along a dormer. That is exactly where lead and zinc do their work.

We expertly install lead flashing and zinc connections so that water is neatly directed onto the roofing rather than underneath. Good lead and zinc work is quiet craftsmanship that you never notice until it is missing.

We work with premium brands

For long-lasting results, we work exclusively with proven quality brands, including Monier, Wienerberger, and Bitasco.

Lead substitute as a sustainable alternative

Modern alternative

In addition to traditional lead, we also work with lead substitute. This is a lighter and more environmentally friendly material that performs just as well as lead in many locations and is less susceptible to theft. We advise you on where lead substitute is a good choice and where traditional lead remains the preferred option.

Zinc work and field roofs

Zinc work

From zinc flashings and valley gutters to a complete seamed zinc roof surface: zinc is durable and lasts for decades. We expertly solder and seam zinc, ensuring tight and leak-free connections. Also zinc details around a dormer or gutters, we take care of it.

Recently performed roof renovations

Excellent roofing work and craftsmanship. The collaboration went well; often things don't go according to plan on projects, but we resolved it perfectly. Thanks also for the extra service; we got the unblocking of another gutter included, which saves us some climbing around. I look forward to having them back for my next roofing project.

Do you have questions about lead and zinc work? In this FAQ, we answer the most frequently asked questions. Dakdekker from Putten stands for clear, honest, and reliable advice.
Lead substitute is lighter, more environmentally friendly, and less prone to theft. It performs just as well on many connections. We provide advice on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. Worn or loose lead flashing around the chimney are a common cause of leaks. We replace them professionally.
Loose lead flashing allows water to run directly down the chimney and into the building, often without you noticing it immediately. The damage to the underlying wood thus becomes greater than the repair itself. We honestly assess how urgent the situation is.
