The Detail That
Keeps Water Out

Most roof leaks don’t start in the middle of the roof — they start at the junctions: chimneys, walls, valleys and abutments. Done well, leadwork makes these joints watertight for decades. Done badly, it’s the first thing to fail.

Our team hand-dresses code-rated lead to form crisp soakers, step flashings, valleys and chimney aprons that look the part and stay weathertight — whether it’s a repair, a renewal or part of a new roof.

Hand-Dressed, Code-Rated Lead

The correct code of lead, properly dressed — never cheap substitutes.

Watertight Junctions

Chimneys, valleys, walls and abutments sealed to last.

Questions & Answers

Leadwork & Flashings FAQs

Common questions about leadwork and flashings. Anything else — just ask.

Roof junctions are where most leaks begin. Properly dressed lead seals these vulnerable points and, done well, lasts for decades.

Lead comes in different thicknesses graded by code (e.g. Code 4, Code 5). Using the correct code for each job is essential for durability — we always do.

Yes — we re-dress, re-fix and replace cracked, slipped or badly-fitted lead, as well as installing new.

Almost certainly. Failed chimney flashing is a very common cause of leaks, and renewing the leadwork usually solves it.
