Specialist lead roofing, lead roof repairs, flashings, bays, valleys, gutters and heritage leadwork across Normanton, Altofts and the surrounding Wakefield district.
Have a leaking lead roof, failed chimney flashing or new leadwork project? Send us photographs and a short description of the work and we can advise on the appropriate next step.
The Lead Lads undertake specialist leadwork throughout Normanton and Altofts, including complete lead roofs, bay roofs, chimney flashings, stepped flashings, soakers, valleys, gutters, dormers and repair or replacement of failed existing leadwork.
Our work covers domestic, commercial, period and heritage properties. Each project is considered around the roof form, rolled lead sheet specification, supporting substrate, drainage, fixing method and the need for lead to expand and contract naturally.
Where leadwork is leaking, cracking, splitting or has been repeatedly patched, we can review the likely cause and advise whether a targeted repair, more extensive renewal or complete replacement is the better long-term approach.
Our technical approach is informed by recognised industry guidance including BS 6915, BS EN 12588 and LSTA guidance.

New and replacement lead roofs, bays, dormers and fully supported rolled lead sheet coverings.
Assessment and repair of leaking, cracked, split or poorly detailed leadwork.
Traditional and conservation-sensitive leadwork for older, listed and character properties.
Many enquiries begin with a leak, cracked sheet, failed flashing or a repair that has not lasted. We can review the existing detail and help establish the correct next step.
From individual repairs and chimney flashings to complete lead roof replacement, we undertake specialist rolled lead sheet work across Normanton, Altofts and surrounding Wakefield district locations.
We install and replace fully supported lead roofs, flat lead roof coverings, bay windows, entrance canopies and other sheet lead roof areas. Correct bay dimensions, timber rolls, drips, laps, fixing positions and movement allowance are fundamental to long-term performance.
Chimney weathering may include front aprons, stepped cover flashings, individual soakers, back gutters and saddles. We undertake individual repairs as well as complete renewal of failed chimney leadwork.
We undertake lead valley linings, box gutters, parapet gutters, back gutters, sumps, outlets and associated drainage details. Existing gutters can also be assessed where splitting, defective joints or movement-related problems have developed.
Whether existing leadwork can be repaired depends on why it has failed. Local defects may sometimes be capable of repair, while widespread fatigue, poor bay sizing, defective substrates or repeated previous patching may justify more extensive renewal.
Our aim is to identify the underlying cause rather than simply cover the visible symptom.
Normanton and the surrounding Wakefield district contain a broad mix of Victorian, Edwardian, civic, ecclesiastical and traditional properties where lead flashings, valleys, gutters and roof coverings often form important parts of the original roof construction.
We undertake appropriate repair and renewal where traditional appearance, careful detailing and compatibility with the existing building fabric matter.
Where the cause or extent of failure is unclear, a site survey can help assess the leadwork, substrate, roof build-up and adjacent interfaces before remedial works are specified.
