Overview

Understanding leadwork & lead welding

What it is

Bespoke leadwork — lead-welded window sills, chimney and abutment flashings, soakers, valleys and weatherproof detailing, formed and dressed by hand to suit the roof.

Who it's for

Period and traditional properties needing lead detailing done properly, and anyone with a leak tracking back to tired or badly-formed lead.

When you need it

When flashings are cracked or lifting, when a window sill or abutment needs a bespoke watertight detail, or as part of a slate or tile roof where the leadwork has to be right.

Why it matters

Cheap, thin or badly-lapped lead cracks within a few winters. Properly-coded, welded and dressed lead lasts for decades and keeps the property looking right.

Our process

How we deliver, step by step

Assess the detail

We look at what's failing and what the property needs — the right code of lead for the exposure.

Written quote

A clear price for the leadwork, whether it's a single flashing or a full set of details.

Form & weld on site

Lead cut, formed, welded and dressed on site to fit the actual roof, not an off-the-shelf shape.

Dress & seal

Lapped, dressed and sealed properly so it's watertight and stays put.

Clean finish

A clean, traditional detail that suits the property and the surrounding roof.

In detail

A closer look

Lead-welded window sills

Bespoke lead-welded sills formed and dressed to suit the existing roof — clean, watertight and in keeping.

Chimney & abutment flashings

Stepped flashings, soakers and cover flashings dressed into the brickwork where roof meets wall or stack.

Lead valleys

Lead-lined valleys formed to carry water off cleanly where two roof slopes meet.

Weatherproof detailing

The small lead details around penetrations and junctions that keep a roof watertight for the long run.
