Leadwork in 11 Western Avenue

Leadwork is essential for waterproofing vulnerable roof junctions, chimneys, valleys, and abutments. We provide expert lead flashing installation and repairs that deliver robust, watertight protection for traditional and modern properties.

When You Need Leadwork

Water is leaking down the internal walls surrounding your chimney breast. Lead flashing has slipped, cracked, or pulled away from brickwork joints. Valley gutters are showing splits or corrosion after years of exposure. You are renovating an older property and require period-appropriate lead detailing.

How We Do It

We inspect chimney stacks, valleys, and roof abutments for failing leadwork. We safely remove damaged lead and clean out mortar chases in brickwork. We cut, dress, and shape high-grade lead to fit your roof geometry with absolute precision. We point fixings securely into mortar joints using correct lead sealant for a permanent, weatherproof seal.

What to Expect

Lead flashing and valley repairs are typically completed within 1 day, instantly resolving leaks around chimneys and junctions.
