Why Choose Us?
Why Proper Leadwork is Essential for Your Roof’s Longevity
Lead has been used in roofing for centuries, and for very good reason. It’s an incredibly durable, flexible, and weather-resistant material, perfectly suited to sealing vulnerable areas on your roof. Think of it as your roof's waterproof armour, particularly around junctions and features where water could otherwise seep in. This includes areas like chimney stacks, skylights, dormer windows, and roof valleys. Without correctly installed or maintained lead, these spots are common entry points for water, leading to damp, rot, and much more costly internal repairs down the line. Our professional team understands the nuances of traditional leadwork and modern application techniques, ensuring a seamless, watertight finish that truly lasts.

Who We Are
Comprehensive Leadwork Services for Every Property
At ST Builders, we offer a full spectrum of leadwork solutions to meet the needs of any roofing project, big or small, on domestic or commercial roofs. Our services include:
- Lead Flashing Installation & Repair: Crucial for sealing joints where a roof meets a wall, such as around chimney stacks, parapet walls, or extensions. We handle everything from step flashing to apron flashing.
- Lead Valley Lining: Valleys are where two roof slopes meet, creating a natural channel for water. Correct lead lining ensures water is efficiently directed away, preventing leaks.
- Chimney Gutter & Back Gutters: Specialised leadwork designed to channel water away from chimneys, especially on the uphill side.
- Dormer & Skylight Leadwork: Sealing around roof windows and dormers to prevent water ingress, ensuring a snug, weatherproof fit.
- Decorative Lead Features: While primarily functional, leadwork can also be crafted into beautiful, traditional features, adding character to your property.
Our experienced team possesses the expertise to tackle any leadwork challenge, delivering solutions that blend seamlessly with your existing roofline.

It's often hard to spot roofing issues from the ground, but there are a few tell-tale signs that your leadwork might need a professional inspection and potentially some lead repair. Keep an eye out for:
- Cracked or Split Lead: Over time, lead can fatigue, especially if it's been poorly installed or exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Lifting or Dislodged Lead: Strong winds or age can cause lead sections to lift, creating gaps for water to enter.
- Staining on Exterior Walls: Dark, damp patches or streaks below leaded areas on your external walls can indicate a leak.
- Damp Patches on Internal Ceilings or Walls: If you see water ingress inside, particularly near chimneys, skylights, or roof junctions, faulty leadwork is a common culprit.
- Missing Mortar Around Chimneys: While not directly leadwork, crumbling mortar can affect the lead’s seal.
Don't let minor issues escalate. A prompt inspection by our reliable team can save you significant time and money in the long run.
