Leadworx back gutter chimney flashing delivers exceptional protection against water ingress at one of your roof’s most vulnerable points. Each piece is custom-made to your exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and flawless performance in all weather conditions.

What is a Back Gutter?

A back gutter is the critical waterproofing component installed on the upper side of a chimney where it meets the roof slope. This specialised lead flashing creates a channel (gutter) that diverts rainwater around the chimney stack rather than allowing it to pool against the brickwork. Without a properly fitted back gutter, water can penetrate this junction, causing serious structural damage, damp issues, and interior water staining.

Ordering Your Custom Back Gutter Flashing

To ensure a perfect fit for your chimney, we need three key measurements:

1. Chimney Dimensions: The exact width and length of your chimney stack in millimeters.
2. Roof Pitch: The angle of your roof slope where the chimney sits. See our guide on [how to measure pitch] for simple instructions on determining this crucial measurement.
3. Quantity Required: The number of back gutters needed for your project.
