Lead is what keeps the joints in a roof dry: around chimneys, where a roof meets a wall, in valleys and over bay windows. When it cracks, lifts or was never dressed properly in the first place, that is where the water gets in.
We have an in-house lead specialist who handles everything from standard flashings and soakers to lead valleys, bay roofs, capping and cladding, and lead welding for the more complex details. We use the right thickness of lead for each job, from code 3 soakers to code 5 for bays and capping, and dress and fix it so it lasts.
Lead work is often the fix behind a chimney leak or a damp patch where an extension meets the house, so it goes hand in hand with our repair work.
All our lead work is covered by our minimum 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
If you have a leak around a chimney or a wall, or an old lead roof that needs attention, give us a ring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does lead work matter so much?
Because it covers the joints, and joints are where roofs leak. Good lead, properly dressed and fixed, keeps a chimney or abutment dry for decades.
Do you do lead welding?
Yes. Our lead specialist carries out lead welding for complex details and repairs, not just standard flashings.
What lead do you use?
The right code for the job: code 3 for soakers, code 4 for flashings, code 5 for bays, capping and cladding.
