Shop Rolled LeadFrom individual repairs and chimney flashings to complete lead roof replacement, our services cover a wide range of traditional and modern rolled lead sheet applications.
We install and replace fully supported lead roofs, flat roof coverings, bay windows, entrance canopies, dormers and other sheet lead roof areas. Correct bay sizing, movement allowance, substrate support and detailing are fundamental to long-term performance.
Existing leadwork may fail through fatigue, hard restraint, defective substrates, poor detailing, inadequate falls or repeated previous repairs. We assess the wider construction before recommending repair or replacement.
We undertake chimney aprons, stepped cover flashings, soakers, back gutters, saddles and associated lead weatherings on domestic, commercial and heritage properties.
Lead valley linings, box gutters, parapet gutters, back gutters, sumps and outlets require careful coordination of falls, capacity, support and thermal movement.
Traditional and conservation-sensitive work is undertaken on period, listed, ecclesiastical and historic buildings where appropriate materials, skilled workmanship and careful interface detailing are particularly important.
Where the cause or extent of a defect is unclear, a site survey can review the leadwork, substrate, roof build-up and adjoining construction before remedial works are specified.
Our current service network covers major locations across Yorkshire and parts of the North of England, together with surrounding towns and districts where the project is a suitable fit.
If your project is outside a location listed above, send us the postcode and brief project details. We can confirm whether the location falls within an active Lead Lads service area.
Check Coverage & Request a QuoteGood leadwork depends on much more than the visible sheet material. Lead code, sheet dimensions, supporting substrate, fixing positions, falls, drainage, laps, clips and thermal movement all influence performance.
Our technical approach is informed by recognised guidance including BS 6915, BS EN 12588 and practical LSTA guidance. Wider roof build-up, substrate and moisture-control principles may also need consideration depending on the construction.
