What goes into a flashing job in Dover Manor
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Dover Manor, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
When a roof valley runs into the chimney
A chimney placed where two slopes meet in a valley takes water from both directions. The valley metal and the chimney flashing have to overlap in a specific order, and that joint is one of the trickiest on any roof.
We check how the valley ends at the chimney and whether its water is carried past the flashing or under it. This detail may involve both trades, so we write down which part we handle and leave no gap between the two scopes.
Flashing bent to fit your chimney
Chimney flashing is usually formed from flat sheet on a brake, bent to the angles and widths each face needs. Stock pieces can work on the sides, but aprons, corners and back pans often have to be shaped to the chimney in front of us.
We measure each face and form the pieces to fit instead of forcing stock parts into place. A close fit at the corners and bends means less reliance on sealant to close gaps, and a cleaner look from the ground.
An unused chimney still needs sound flashing
A fireplace that is never lit does nothing to protect the roof junction. Water gets in at the flashing whether or not the chimney is used, and it can damage framing and ceilings quietly over time.
Unused chimneys often go unchecked for years because nobody thinks about them. If yours has not been looked at in a while, a free inspection of the flashing, crown and cap can catch problems while they are still small. The check is free and takes one visit, and the findings tell you whether the chimney needs work before the next storm season.
Signs flashing is reaching the end of its life
Flashing rarely fails all at once. Rust spots spread, sealant cracks, counter flashing edges lift and corners open over the years. Each small sign on its own may not leak yet, but together they say the flashing has spent most of its working life.
When we see several of these on one chimney, we explain whether a repair buys meaningful time or whether a full reflash is the better choice. Both options go in writing, and the decision stays with you.
