Leadwork

Lead is the traditional defence against water penetration around chimneys, roof valleys, and window bays. We install and repair lead flashings and seals to keep vulnerable roof junctions watertight.

When You Need Leadwork Services

Water leaking down interior walls adjacent to your chimney stack. Cracked, slipped, or peeling lead flashings around roof joints. White staining appearing on brickwork below lead flashings due to moisture. Sagging or torn lead valleys where two roof slopes meet.

How We Do It

Remove old, cracked lead and clear out mortar joints safely. Cut and dress new code-compliant milled lead to fit your roof geometry precisely. Secure the lead into brickwork chases using appropriate fixings and lead clips. Point mortar into the chases to lock the flashing firmly in place against water ingress.

What to Expect

Most lead flashing repairs or valley replacements take less than a single day to complete.
