Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lead work important for my roof?
Lead work is crucial for weatherproofing your roof, particularly around joints and intersections. It prevents water ingress at vulnerable points such as chimneys, valleys, and where different roof sections meet. Quality lead work can last for decades and helps protect your property's structure from water damage.
How long does lead work last?
When properly installed, lead work can last 60-100 years or more. It's one of the most durable roofing materials available, which is why it's been used for centuries. The longevity depends on factors like installation quality, environmental conditions, and regular maintenance.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes, we have extensive experience working on listed buildings and in conservation areas. Our team understands the specific requirements and traditional techniques needed for heritage properties. We work closely with conservation officers when required and use appropriate materials and methods.
What types of lead do you use?
We use codes 4, 5, and 6 lead sheets, depending on the application. Code 4 is typically used for flashings, while codes 5 and 6 are used for valleys, gutters, and flat roofing. All our lead meets British Standards (BS EN 12588) for rolled lead sheet.
How do you ensure quality installation?
Our lead workers are fully certified and follow strict installation guidelines. We use proper expansion joints, correct fixing methods, and appropriate underlay materials. All work is thoroughly tested for water-tightness and completed to the highest industry standards.
Is lead work environmentally friendly?
Lead is one of the most environmentally sustainable roofing materials available. It's 100% recyclable, has a very long lifespan, and requires minimal maintenance. When properly installed and maintained, lead work is an environmentally responsible choice for your property.
