Lead Flashing and Detailing

We install new lead flashing, lead valleys, and lead coverings where required. Correct shaping, dressing, and fixing methods are essential to ensure the lead remains secure in Cornwall’s high winds.

We use best-practice installation techniques to ensure movement is accounted for from day one. All our leadwork is installed to BS EN 12588 standards using Code 4 and Code 5 lead sheet.

Chimney and Valley Leadwork

Chimneys and valleys are the most vulnerable points on any roof. Our skilled lead workers ensure every flashing is tailored to the roof’s unique shape, providing a permanent seal.

Correct leadwork prevents water ingress at the most vulnerable points of a new property, ensuring the longevity of the entire roofing system.

Heritage Leadwork

For heritage buildings and conservation area properties, traditional leadwork is often a planning requirement. Our team has extensive experience in traditional lead techniques, including bossing and welding.

We work with architects and conservation officers to ensure all leadwork meets the required standards and complements the character of the building.
