Why Choose Us?

Comprehensive Leadwork Services for Your Burton upon Trent Property

Our skilled team handles a full range of leadwork tasks, essential for keeping your home or business premises watertight. From intricate detailing to large-scale installations, we use traditional techniques combined with modern understanding to ensure lasting quality. Our services include:

  • Lead Flashing Installation & Repair: Essential for sealing junctions where different parts of your roof meet, such as around chimneys, skylights, dormer windows, and adjoining walls. We carefully cut and shape lead to create effective barriers against water.
  • Step Flashing: Used where a roof meets a vertical wall, ensuring a weather-tight seal as the roof slopes.
  • Lead Aprons: Perfect for sealing the base of a chimney stack or where a roof meets a flat surface.
  • Lead Soakers: These small, individual pieces of lead are installed between roof tiles to provide an additional layer of protection in valleys and at abutments.
  • Chimney Leadwork: Comprehensive services for chimney stacks, including repairing or replacing lead flashings to prevent leaks around the stack itself.
  • Valley Re-lining: If your roof valleys, the channels where two roof slopes meet, are causing issues, we can expertly re-line them with durable lead.
    We take immense pride in our workmanship, ensuring every leadwork job, no matter the size, is carried out with precision and care.

Spotting Leadwork Problems? We've Got Your Roof Covered!

Often, a small issue with your leadwork can quickly escalate into a larger, more costly problem if left unattended. Look out for these common signs that might indicate your leadwork needs attention:

  • Damp Patches or Stains: Any dampness appearing on ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys, skylights, or roof junctions, often points to failing lead flashing.
  • Cracked or Crumbling Lead: Over time, lead can become brittle or crack due to constant expansion and contraction.
  • Lifted or Displaced Lead: Strong winds or age can cause lead to lift, leaving gaps for water to penetrate.
  • Visible Gaps or Holes: Any gaps around your chimney stack or where different roof sections meet could be a sign of compromised leadwork.
    If you notice any of these issues on your property in areas like Shardlow, Hilton, or Melbourne, don't delay. Prompt leadwork repairs can prevent significant water damage to your roof structure and the interior of your property.
