Leadwork in Berkshire
Every roof has weak points where it meets something else: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a dormer. Lead is what keeps those joints watertight, and when it is fitted well it lasts longer than the roof around it.
We carry out all types of leadwork, from flashing and soakers around a chimney to lead valleys, saddles and box gutters. Lead is dressed and lapped to the right code for the job, fixed and clipped so it can move with the building, and never relied on with a smear of sealant over a gap. Fitted properly, it is one of the most reliable parts of a roof.
