What Is Lead Work Roofing?
Lead roofing involves using rolled lead sheets to protect key areas of a roof, including:
- Chimney flashings
- Valleys and junctions
- Dormers and skylights
- Flat or domed roof coverings
- Box gutters and parapets
This material has been trusted for centuries due to its flexibility, waterproofing ability, and extreme durability—often outlasting the very building it’s protecting.
Why Lead Is Still Used in Modern London Roofing
✅ Ideal for Heritage Properties
Many areas in London are home to listed or conservation buildings that require like-for-like repairs. Lead is often the only material that meets planning regulations while preserving the authentic look of the structure.
✅ Weatherproof and Resilient
Lead roofing adapts to seasonal movement. It expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking or breaking, making it perfect for the UK’s unpredictable climate. This gives you decades of leak-free protection.
✅ Long-Term Value
Lead may cost more upfront, but it often lasts over 100 years with little maintenance. In the long run, that can save thousands in repairs and replacements compared to cheaper alternatives.
Signs Your Lead Roofing Needs Repair
If you notice any of the following, your lead work may need professional attention:
- Water leaks or damp patches inside
- Lifted or split flashings around chimneys
- Sagging lead valleys
- Visible gaps or deterioration near joints
Timely repairs can prevent further structural damage. We always recommend a professional inspection if you’re unsure.
