Why Choose Us?
Understanding the Vital Role of Leadwork in Your Roof
Leadwork isn't just an old-fashioned tradition; it's an incredibly durable and flexible material that plays a critical role in waterproofing your roof, particularly where different sections meet or where obstructions like chimneys and skylights are present. Think of it as the 'sealant' for your roof's trickiest areas. Whether it's around a chimney stack, along roof valleys, or as flashing where a wall meets the roof, properly installed lead provides a robust barrier against the unpredictable British weather. When installed by experienced professionals like our team at ST Builders, it offers unparalleled longevity and peace of mind for homeowners and commercial property managers throughout Derby, Belper, and Long Eaton.

Who We Are
Our Comprehensive Leadwork Solutions
At ST Builders, we offer a full spectrum of leadwork services designed to protect your property from water ingress and structural damage. Our skilled team provides expert solutions for all types of roofing. We frequently carry out:
- Lead Flashing Installation & Repair: Essential for sealing around chimneys, dormer windows, and where extensions meet existing walls, preventing water penetration.
- Step & Cover Flashings: Used on pitched roofs where they meet a vertical wall, these ensure a watertight seal across the brickwork courses.
- Lead Valley Linings: Crucial for managing water flow in the internal angles of your roof, guiding it safely into your guttering system.
- Lead Aprons: Often found at the base of chimneys or dormers, these pieces provide a strong, durable seal.
- Decorative Leadwork: While primarily functional, lead can also be crafted into beautiful features, enhancing your property's aesthetics.
- Lead Soakers: Small, individual pieces of lead installed under each roof tile where it meets a vertical surface, creating an invisible but effective water barrier.
From minor repairs to comprehensive lead replacement, we bring our expertise to every job, ensuring professional workmanship across Ilkeston, Swadlincote, and beyond.

01332 529271Why Professional Leadwork is Non-Negotiable
Attempting to repair or install leadwork without the proper skills and tools can lead to serious and costly problems down the line. Lead is a specialist material that requires traditional craftsmanship and a deep understanding of roofing dynamics. Incorrectly installed lead can crack, lift, or dislodge, creating pathways for water to seep into your roof structure, leading to damp, timber rot, and damaged ceilings. Our professional team at ST Builders uses time-tested techniques combined with modern standards to ensure your leadwork provides the ultimate protection for your home or business in areas like Ripley, Heanor, and Ashbourne. We focus on long-term integrity, not just quick fixes.
Areas We Cover

01332 529271Signs Your Property Needs Leadwork Attention
It’s often hard to spot leadwork issues from the ground, but there are tell-tale signs that indicate it’s time to call in the professionals. Keep an eye out for:
- Damp Patches or Stains: Especially on ceilings or walls near chimneys, skylights, or roof valleys.
- Cracked or Crumbling Mortar: Around chimney stacks, this can affect the lead's seal.
- Visible Cracks or Tears in the Lead: This is a clear sign that the lead has fatigued or been damaged.
- Dislodged or Lifting Lead: High winds or general wear can cause lead to move, breaking its seal.
- Moss or Debris Accumulation: In roof valleys, this can trap water and cause lead to corrode over time.
Don't let a small leak turn into a major repair bill. If you notice any of these issues at your property in Allestree, Chellaston, or Duffield, get in touch with our friendly team promptly.
