Leadwork

Lead has been used on roofs for centuries because it simply works — it’s one of the most reliable materials going for sealing off the trickiest, most leak-prone parts of a roof. Our team handles the full range of leadwork, from flashing around chimneys, parapet walls, and skylights to forming valleys, dormer cheeks, and lead coverings on small flat roof sections.

What makes lead so useful is how workable it is — it can be shaped and dressed to fit awkward junctions in a way few other materials can, while still flexing naturally as the building moves or temperatures shift. Done well, it gives you a durable, watertight seal that also respects the architectural character of older or period properties.
