Why Choose Us?

Why Proper Leadwork is Vital for Your Roof's Health

Lead is an incredibly versatile and durable material, widely recognised for its exceptional weatherproofing properties. It plays a crucial role in sealing vulnerable areas on your roof where two surfaces meet, such as around chimneys, skylights, roof valleys, and dormer windows. Without expertly installed or well-maintained leadwork, these junctions become prime entry points for water, leading to damp, rot, and structural issues within your property. Our work ensures a watertight seal, protecting your investment and giving you peace of mind. We tackle everything from minor lead repairs to complete installations, making sure every job is carried out to the highest standard.

Spotting the Signs of Failing Leadwork

It's not always obvious when your leadwork might be failing, but knowing what to look for can help prevent more extensive damage. Keep an eye out for:

  • Cracks or Tearing: Lead can fatigue and crack over time, especially if poorly installed or exposed to extreme temperature changes.
  • Buckling or Lifting: This often indicates the lead is no longer securely fixed, allowing water to get underneath.
  • White Staining: A white powdery substance (lead carbonate) can appear, suggesting corrosion or a reaction with other materials.
  • Damp Patches Inside: Any signs of water ingress on ceilings or walls below chimneys or roof valleys are a clear indicator of a leak originating from the roof, often due to faulty leadwork.
    If you notice any of these issues, it's wise to get a professional roof inspection promptly. Ignoring them can lead to much larger, more expensive repairs down the line.
