Zinc work: the guarantee of a waterproof and durable roof
Zinc work not only guarantees the efficient drainage of rainwater, but it also protects the sensitive areas of the roof, such as chimneys, roof windows, and roof junctions.
Thanks to a team of experienced zinc specialists, Beauvery Charpente offers a wide range of services to meet the needs of every building, including gutters, channels, chimney flashings, and window surrounds.
Installation and restoration of gutters and channels in Saint-Savinien
Zinc gutters and copper ones are not only robust but also aesthetic, protecting the building’s façade and foundations from water infiltration and moisture-related damage.
Channels, on the other hand, are particularly useful for draining water from large roof surfaces. They are installed in sensitive areas such as roof junctions or connections with walls.
Our zinc specialists customize each gutter or channel to the specific needs of the roof, ensuring their discreet integration and resistance to weather conditions. Beauvery Charpente offers tailor-made solutions for every project, guaranteeing perfect rainwater drainage while preserving the aesthetics of the building.
Chimney flashings in Saint-Savinien (17)
Chimney flashings play a fundamental role in ensuring the roof's waterproofing. These zinc elements, known as chimney aprons, are placed around the base of the chimney to provide protection against water infiltration, which can seep into the roof and cause structural damage.
In Saint-Savinien, Beauvery Charpente specializes in the creation and restoration of chimney aprons, using advanced techniques and durable materials such as zinc.
Each chimney flashing is designed to perfectly fit the structure of the roof and the local climatic conditions. Whether for stone, brick, or metal chimneys, we ensure that every installation provides perfect waterproofing.
The craftsmen at Beauvery Charpente master the precise integration of chimney flashings, guaranteeing a long lifespan and optimal protection of the roof against water infiltration.

Zinc work aims primarily to ensure the waterproofing and protection of the roof and framework. It includes the installation of gutters, channels, flashings, and other metal components that direct and drain rainwater, thus preventing leaks and structural damage.
- Gutters: Collect and drain rainwater from the roof.
- Channels: Integrated into the masonry or roof to direct water toward the downspouts.
- Flashings: Metal plates installed at the junctions between the roof and walls to ensure waterproofing.
- Valleys: Junctions between two roof slopes, often fitted with a metal strip to prevent leaks.
- Ridge caps: The topmost part of the roof, often sealed with metal elements to ensure waterproofing.
- Edge cladding: Metal strips protecting the edges of the roof from weather exposure.
- Downspouts: Vertical pipes that channel water collected by the gutters to the ground or a drainage system.
- Dolphins: Reinforced cast-iron downspouts designed to withstand impacts, commonly used in urban areas.
