Professional leadwork is a specialized skill that requires specific training and experience. Our team includes Lead Sheet Association certified craftsmen who have completed residential courses and maintain the highest standards in lead installation and repair.
Leadwork is essential for weatherproofing vulnerable areas of your roof, including valleys, ridges, abutments where roofs meet walls, and flashings around chimneys and dormer windows.
We also offer comprehensive building services beyond roofing, including damp proofing, repointing, brickwork repairs, and general property maintenance. This allows us to provide complete solutions for property improvement and maintenance.

Professional Leadwork Excellence
Lead has been used in roofing for centuries because it's durable, flexible, and weather-resistant. Properly installed lead flashings and valleys can last 50-100 years or more, making it an excellent long-term investment.
However, leadwork requires specialized skills—incorrect installation causes leaks, while poorly fitted lead can crack or fatigue prematurely. Our Lead Sheet Association training ensures we follow industry best practices for lead installation.
Professional Installation Standards
- Thermal Expansion: Proper allowance for lead movement
- Correct Laps: Industry-specified overlap widths
- Appropriate Fixing: Methods that don't compromise integrity
- Support Systems: Proper substrate preparation and support
- Code Thicknesses: Correct lead weight for each application
Building Services
Beyond leadwork, our building services address common property maintenance needs. Repointing prevents water penetration through brickwork, protecting wall structures and preventing damp. Damp proofing solves moisture problems at source, whether from rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation.
We can install or replace damp proof courses, apply tanking systems, and improve ventilation. Our approach is diagnostic—identifying why damp problems occur and addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.
This comprehensive service capability means we can manage complete property renovation projects, coordinating different trades and ensuring quality across all aspects of the work. Whether you need complex leadwork on a period property or general maintenance on a modern home, our experienced team delivers professional results that protect and enhance your property.
