Most leaks happen where the roof meets something else: a wall, a chimney, a window, a valley. That is where good leadwork matters.
We dress and fit new lead to the correct codes and lengths so it moves with the weather and does not crack.

Leadwork: common questions
How long does lead last?
Correctly fitted lead can last 50 years or more. Most failures come from pieces that were too long or poorly fixed.
Is there an alternative to lead?
Yes. Lead substitutes are an option where theft is a risk. We will talk you through the pros and cons.
Can you replace just one flashing?
Yes. Small leadwork repairs are one of the most common jobs we do.
