Our
main speciality is traditional lead roofs.
From minor repairs to complete renewal


Lead
is an excellent material for roof coverings, to cover flat roofs, to line valley
gutters and to cover a wide variety of connections between slatework and masonry,
chimneys and so on to waterproof the junction between tiles and brickwork, or
tile-to-tile junctions which are vulnerable to penetration by water, such as gullies.A
lead 'soaker' is a sheet of lead placed under the tiles at a join,for example,against
a wall covered with step flashing to form a waterproof seal. Where terracotta
ridge tiles are inappropriate, for example on a small porch roof, a hip may be
sealed with a 'hip roll', lead flashing wrapped round a wooden pole to give a
ridge. A roof is most likely to leak from its weakest point. Quite often this
will be where different rooling types meet, such as tile or lead flashings.

All
Leadwork is undertaken from Stepped Flashings to Box Gutters and Run out Valleys.
We can accommodate for all types of work ranging from Bossing to Welding and we
can offer a complete service to the client.Our leadwork meets the high standard
required on listed and period properties and according to LSA guidelines.
