Leadwork
The lead that keeps the joints watertight
The joints are where roofs leak, around chimneys, against walls, in the valleys where two slopes meet, and lead is what keeps those joints sealed. When lead cracks, lifts or was never dressed properly, water finds its way straight in.
We carry out leadwork to the recognised codes, forming and dressing new flashings, valleys, soakers and cover strips and bedding them in correctly. Whether it is a single flashing after a leak or all the leadwork on a new roof, we fit lead that sits right and lasts.
What’s included
