What is leadwork?

Leadwork is commonly found in both residential and commercial buildings due to its exceptional longevity and adaptability. The leadwork on your roof is equally as important as the roof itself as damaged leadwork can lead to expensive damage. As lead is flexible, it is used as a durable material to make seamless waterproof joints between tiles, walls, chimneys, roof windows and skylights. As such, leadwork refers to the lead elements in various components of a roof, such as flashings, valleys and gutters.

Our expert leadwork services

Flashing

Flashings are strips of lead which are used to cover the joints where the roof meets a vertical surface. Lead flashing is used around areas such as chimneys, walls and vents and prevents water from seeping in.

Valleys

Lead valleys line the point at which two roof slopes meet and are often used to channel rainwater.

Lead gutters

Lead is a popular for lining gutters due to its resistance to corrosion and the extremes of British weather. Lead lining provides a long-lasting solution for drainage systems.

Cambridge Roofing Contractors are highly trained in installing leadwork flashing, valleys and gutters. It is essential that you choose a reputable company to work on your leadwork as incorrection installation will significantly reduce the lifespan.

Leadwork repairs

Our experienced team can quickly address any issue in leadwork by applying a temporary solution such as felt or flashing to prevent further damage. They will then assess the situation and see which repair is most suitable for a long-lasting result. It may be that soldering cracks or welding a lead patch is required for the best results. If your leadwork is damaged or worn, it is essential to hire a qualified roofer for insured and regulated repairs.

Common repairs needed for leadwork include:

  • Splitting of leadwork due to incorrect installation
  • Lead flashing pulling away from surfaces
  • Corrosion caused by long-term exposure to pollutants

Gutter repairs

If your gutters have experienced blockages or damage, rainwater will not be disposed of correctly. This will lead to the flow of water being disrupted and could cause it to cascade down exterior walls and windows. If left untreated, this could cause untold water damage.

Fascias & soffit repairs

Whilst we are working on your leadwork, it is a good time to consider if your fascias and soffits require any work. Both of these help to carry the guttering in a more aesthetic way. Often if you have a need to repair your guttering, it suggets needing repairs to your fascias and soffits too.
