New Roofs & Lead Flashing
A new roof is one of the most significant investments a property owner can make — and one that needs to be done properly. Third Generation Construction installs new roofs across Southampton and the whole of Hampshire for residential and commercial properties, with three generations of construction experience ensuring every installation is correctly specified, properly detailed and built to last.
Specialist lead flashing is a critical element of any roof — sealing the junctions between roof coverings and vertical surfaces such as chimneys, dormers and abutments. When lead flashing fails, water finds its way into the building at the most vulnerable points. Third Generation Construction carries out specialist lead work to a professional standard, correctly detailed and dressed for long-term weather resistance.
New pitched roof installations using tile or slate, correctly detailed and constructed to provide dependable long-term weather protection.
Professional flat roof installation for residential and commercial properties, with careful preparation and attention to drainage and waterproofing.
Complete roof installation for extensions and new-build projects, designed to integrate properly with the structure and provide lasting protection.
Specialist lead flashing around chimneys to create a secure, weather-resistant seal where the roof covering meets the chimney structure.
Professionally fitted lead flashing around dormers and roof abutments to help prevent water penetration at vulnerable roof junctions.
Lead lining for roof valleys, carefully installed to direct rainwater away efficiently and protect the surrounding roof structure from water ingress.
Lead step flashing installed at roof and wall junctions to provide a durable, weatherproof detail around masonry and adjoining roof surfaces.
Complete lead work for new and existing roofs, including flashing, valleys and other specialist details required for reliable long-term weather protection.
A new roof installed by a contractor with genuine whole-building construction experience benefits from a better understanding of how the roof relates to the rest of the structure — detailing, ventilation, drainage and the integration with lead work, brickwork and rendering. Three generations of construction experience means Third Generation Construction approaches every roof as part of the building, not in isolation.
