Why Choose Us?
Understanding Essential Roof Leadwork: More Than Just Metal Flashing
Leadwork involves the use of malleable lead sheets to create durable, waterproof seals on various parts of your roof. It's an ancient craft that remains incredibly effective due to lead's unique properties – it's highly resistant to corrosion, incredibly flexible, and has an impressive lifespan. This makes it ideal for areas where different sections of the roof meet or where a roof meets a vertical structure. From step flashing around a chimney stack to lead aprons at the base of a dormer window, or complex lead soakers nestled between tiles in a valley, our professional team ensures every piece of leadwork is expertly installed or repaired. This intricate work prevents water ingress, which can otherwise lead to costly damage to your roof timbers, ceilings, and interior decor.

Who We Are
Common Leadwork Issues That Need Prompt Attention
Even the most robust leadwork can suffer wear and tear over time, especially with exposure to harsh weather or due to poor initial installation. Common problems we encounter and expertly repair for customers in areas like Somercotes and Kilburn include cracked or lifted lead flashing, often caused by thermal expansion and contraction, which can lead to frustrating leaks. Pitting or corrosion, though rare with quality lead, can also occur, compromising its integrity. Another frequent issue is lead 'creeping' or slipping down the roof, sometimes requiring it to be carefully re-dressed and secured. If you notice damp patches on your ceilings, discoloured brickwork around your chimney, or visible cracks in the lead on your roof, it's time to call in the professionals. Ignoring these signs will only allow a small leak to grow into a much bigger, more expensive repair job.
