FAQs

Leadwork FAQs

Common questions about leadwork. Anything else, just ask.

01322 950271
What is leadwork in roofing?

Leadwork uses lead as a durable, weather-resistant material for roof details such as flashings, valleys and gutters. Its flexibility and long life make it the first choice for vulnerable junctions.

How long does lead flashing last?

Correctly installed leadwork routinely lasts for many decades, far longer than most alternative flashing materials.

Can split lead be repaired?

Often, yes. Small splits can be repaired, but where the lead is badly worn, replacing it is the better investment.

Is lead safe to use on my home?

Yes. Once installed and treated with patination oil, lead is a safe and long-standing roofing material.
