Precision Leadwork For A Watertight Roof
Leadwork sits at the most vulnerable points of any roof — valleys, chimney junctions, abutments and dormers — where two surfaces meet and water is most likely to find a way in. Getting it right takes precision and experience.

Where It Matters
Where Leadwork Matters Most
Leadwork is used wherever a roof changes direction or meets another surface — the points most likely to leak if not detailed correctly.
- Roof valleys
- Chimney flashings & soakers
- Wall & parapet abutments
- Dormer window roofs
- Bay window roofs
- Box gutters
- Porch & canopy roofs
- Roof-to-wall junctions
Warning Signs
Signs Your Leadwork Needs Attention
- Cracked or split lead flashing
- Lifted, displaced or loose flashing
- Corroded, pitted or perished lead
- Gaps opening up at wall abutments
- Water stains on ceilings near valleys or chimneys
- Damp patches appearing after heavy rain
- Missing or badly patched lead sections
- Visible daylight through roof junctions in the loft
Leaks around leadwork are easy to miss from ground level, so if you’ve had a damp patch appear that you can’t explain, it’s worth having the roof’s junctions checked.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is leadwork used for on a roof?
Lead is used to weatherproof the points where a roof changes direction or meets another surface — valleys, chimneys, wall abutments, dormers and box gutters — because it can be dressed and formed to fit these junctions and stay watertight.
How long does lead flashing last?
Properly installed lead flashing is one of the most durable roofing materials available and can last for decades, though this depends on the grade of lead used, the quality of installation and local weather exposure.
What are the signs my leadwork needs replacing?
Look out for cracked or split lead, lifted or displaced flashing, corrosion, gaps at wall abutments, or water stains and damp patches appearing near valleys and chimneys — particularly after heavy rain.
Do you repair leadwork, or only replace it?
Both — where a section of leadwork has failed but the rest is sound, a targeted repair is often the right option. Where the lead has widely perished or was poorly installed to begin with, replacing the affected section properly is usually the better long-term fix.
Can leadwork be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
In most cases, yes. Leadwork problems are usually isolated to specific junctions — a valley, a chimney flashing, an abutment — and can typically be addressed without needing to touch the rest of the roof.
What type of lead do you use?
We use premium, high-grade roofing lead, with the sheet weight and code selected to suit the specific job — heavier junctions like valleys and box gutters typically need a heavier grade than a straightforward step flashing.
Is your leadwork covered by a guarantee?
Yes. New leadwork as part of a new roof or full re-roof comes with our 10-year workmanship guarantee, and leadwork repairs are backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We’ll confirm what applies to your specific job when we quote.
How much does leadwork repair cost?
Cost depends on the location and extent of the work, the grade of lead required, and access to the property. For an accurate price, we recommend arranging an assessment and free quotation.
