Leadwork and Lead Flashing for Weather-Tight Joins
Lead is the traditional, premium material for sealing the roof's awkward joins — valleys, aprons, soakers, and the step flashing that runs up a chimney. Properly worked lead is beautiful and extraordinarily long-lasting; poorly worked lead cracks, splits, and lets water in just where the roof is most vulnerable.
Leadwork and lead flashing means forming and fitting quality lead to seal those joins — dressing it neatly, jointing it properly, and securing it to stand up to decades of weather. It's skilled work, and done well, it's the difference between a roof that stays dry and one that leaks at every junction.
When You Need Leadwork
Cracked, split or perished lead flashing
Leaks at a valley, chimney or junction
An old roof with original, tired leadwork
Damp or water ingress at a roof junction
Loose or lifting lead flashing
A new roof or extension needing leadwork
What's Involved in Leadwork?
1. Tell Us About Your Roof
Describe the leadwork you need and where your property is so a survey can be arranged.
2. Inspect the Leadwork
The existing lead is inspected for cracks, splits, and failed joints.
3. Form and Fit
Quality lead is formed and fitted — valleys, aprons, soakers, and flashing dressed and jointed properly.
4. Check and Finish
The leadwork is checked for weather-tightness and finished neatly at every junction.
Why Use Quality Leadwork?
Seal the Joins
Properly worked lead seals the roof's most vulnerable joins — valleys, chimneys, and junctions — against water ingress.
Long-Lasting
Quality lead, fitted well, lasts for decades — far longer than most modern alternatives. It's the premium choice for weather-tightness.
Heritage-Suitable
Lead is the traditional material for period and character roofs, preserving their integrity and appearance.
Skilled Workmanship
Properly dressed and jointed lead is the mark of quality work — the difference between a roof that lasts and one that leaks.
