Specialist Leadwork Services for Every Roof Type
Lead is a remarkably versatile and enduring material, essential for sealing vulnerable areas on both pitched and flat roofs. Our comprehensive leadwork services cover all aspects of its application and maintenance. We regularly undertake lead flashing installations around chimney stacks, ensuring a tight, weather-proof seal where the chimney meets the roof tiles. This also includes step flashing and lead aprons for extensions and skylights, which are critical for preventing leaks. Beyond new installations, we are experts in lead repair, addressing issues like cracks, splits, or deteriorated lead soakers that can lead to significant water damage if left unchecked.

Who We Are
Why Lead Remains the Premier Choice for Roof Protection
For centuries, lead has been the material of choice for protecting critical roof junctions, and for good reason. It’s incredibly durable, boasts an impressive lifespan often exceeding 100 years, and is highly flexible, allowing it to be shaped perfectly to complex roof contours. This flexibility means it can expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, unlike less forgiving materials. Lead is also fully recyclable, making it an environmentally conscious choice. Our team possesses the industry experience and traditional skills needed to work with lead effectively, ensuring its longevity and performance on your property in areas from Swadlincote to Ripley and beyond. Choosing leadwork by ST Builders means investing in a long-lasting, reliable solution that offers superior protection for your home or commercial building.

01332 529271Identifying Signs Your Roof's Leadwork Needs Attention
Many homeowners and property managers might not realise their leadwork is failing until a leak appears. However, there are often subtle signs that indicate your lead flashing or other lead elements need professional attention. Look out for discoloured patches on interior ceilings or walls, especially near chimneys, skylights, or roof valleys. Externally, visible cracks, tears, or buckling in the lead itself are clear indicators. If the lead looks lifted, loose, or has come away from the masonry or tiles, it’s highly vulnerable to water ingress. Moss and lichen growth around leadwork can also trap moisture, accelerating deterioration. Don't wait for a major leak; if you notice any of these issues on your roof in Mickleover, Belper, or Alfreton, contact our friendly team for a prompt, no-obligation inspection.
