Britain’s changing weather can cause more damage than we realise. That’s why we install high-grade leadwork designed to withstand the elements and protect your home against:
Lead is malleable enough to be dressed tightly around awkward shapes like chimney stacks and roof windows, where rigid materials can’t form a proper seal. It also expands and contracts with the weather without splitting and lasts up to three times longer than the alternatives, which is why it remains the standard on period properties across London.
Lead roofing is a roof covering made entirely from lead, usually laid as a flat sheet on smaller or lower-pitched areas. Lead flashing is the weatherproofing that seals the joints, protecting chimneys, vents and roof intersections. Most London homes have flashing rather than a full lead roof, and it’s almost always the flashing that fails first.
The clearest signs usually show up inside before they show up on the roof. Look out for staining on ceilings or chimney breasts, damp spreading through brickwork, or a musty smell in the loft. From the ground, check for lead that has lifted, cracked, split at the folds or gone chalky and white. If you spot any of these, book an inspection rather than waiting for the next storm, as water that’s already getting in will only travel further.
Lead is exceptionally durable and will often last decades, though its lifespan depends on exposure, movement and how well it was fitted in the first place. We recommend having your leadwork inspected by a professional roofer at least once every five years. A regular check catches cracking or lifting early, while it’s still a repair rather than a replacement, and gives you time to plan and budget for the work.
Most flashing replacements take a few hours. Larger or more complex jobs, such as a chimney with several abutments or a valley that needs stripping back, can run to a couple of days. Rest assured, we’ll confirm timings and give you a full quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
