Lead Work Specialists

Lead is the most durable flashing material for a roof, but it demands specialist craft to install correctly. We handle all aspects of leadwork across Bromley, from stepped flashings to valley linings and lead bay roofs.

When You Need Lead Work

Water is leaking where your roof meets a brick chimney or exterior wall. Existing lead flashings have slipped, cracked, or split down the seams. Your roof valley is leaking due to degraded or split lead lining. You are undertaking a roofing extension requiring custom lead bossing and bays.

How We Do It

Assess the precise dimensions and movement tolerances required for the lead installation. Carefully remove failing mortar and old lead flashings or valley linings. Cut, shape, and dress code-compliant rolled lead sheet into place with correct expansion laps and fixings. Repoint chase joints with durable mortar or silicone sealant to lock flashings securely into brickwork.

What to Expect

Most lead flashing and valley repairs or installations take between a few hours to 1 day.
