Lead seals the most vulnerable parts of a roof: where it meets a chimney, a wall, a dormer or a valley. It lasts for decades when fitted correctly, but lead laid in pieces that are too long, or fixed with no room to move, splits and lifts.

We follow established lead sheet guidance on code thickness, piece length and fixing, dressing each piece to the shape of the roof so it sheds water for decades.

FAQs

Leadwork FAQs for Leighton Buzzard

Do you cover Leighton Buzzard for leadwork?

Yes. Our team covers Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding Bedfordshire area, including Linslade, Soulbury, Ledburn, Ivinghoe Aston, Wingrave and Marsworth. Call 0800 075 2452 to arrange a visit and a written quote.

Why is my lead flashing leaking?

Common causes are lead that has cracked from thermal movement, flashing that has pulled out of the mortar joint, and sealant used in place of properly dressed lead.

How long does lead flashing last?

Correctly specified and fixed lead commonly lasts well over 50 years. Failures are usually down to installation, not the material.

Are there alternatives to lead?

Yes. Lead-free flashing products exist and can suit some situations, such as where theft is a concern. For chimneys and valleys, lead remains the most durable and adaptable option.

What does lead code mean?

The code is the thickness of the sheet. Thicker codes are used for valleys and gutters that take more water and wear, while thinner codes suit soakers.
