Whether you have a traditional roof on a period property or a modern installation on a new build, our roofing company can provide the services you need.

Lead has held its popularity as a modern and traditional roofing material thanks to its flexibility. It expands and contracts with fluctuations in temperature, a valuable asset given our changeable weather system.

As a local roofing company, we cannot stress how important a role leadwork plays in maintaining older properties.

Below, we have provided a brief guide to the two primary aspects of our services: flashing and lead roofs.

Lead Flashing

Lead is most commonly found on roofs as flashing. You'll find it at the junctions in your roof structure, including around:

  • Chimneys

  • Walls

  • Vent Pipes

  • Dormers

  • Door Openings

  • Valleys

  • Gullies

  • Saddles

  • Ridges

Any roof joint can be a weak point where water can easily penetrate. Our roofing contractors install and repair leadwork around these areas to ensure maximum protection.

The thin pieces of metal create a weather-resistant barrier that stops water ingress, preventing issues such as mould and rot. Consequently, if you notice an issue with lead flashings, we urge you to contact our local roofers for professional roof lead repairs.

Lead Roofing

Lead roofs can often be found on older structures, particularly churches in Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and the Home Counties. Our roofing company repairs, restores and replaces roofs or large areas of roofing made solely of lead.
‍
Lead roofing is also a great solution for small roofs, such as on porches, garages and outbuildings, and above bay windows. Our local roofers offer roof lead repairs and installations for these coverings throughout Witney, Oxford and Cheltenham and the surrounding areas.

Why Lead?

With its watertightness, outstanding longevity and resistance to corrosion, lead ticks every box for many property owners. Leadwork also has the added benefit of being 100% recyclable.

As eco-friendly roofing contractors, we like that lead helps us reduce our carbon footprint. In turn, this helps us keep costs down, so we can continue to offer competitive prices.
