Leadwork in Sunderland — the detail that keeps roofs dry

Lead is the unsung hero of a good roof. It seals all the awkward junctions — around chimneys, in valleys, against walls and over bay windows — where water loves to sneak in. Done well, leadwork lasts a lifetime. Done badly, it’s the first thing to leak.

FAQ

Leadworks — your questions answered

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.

Why is leadwork so important?+
Most roof leaks don’t happen in the middle of the tiles — they happen at the junctions: chimneys, valleys and walls. Lead seals these weak points, so quality leadwork is the difference between a dry roof and a recurring leak.
How long does lead flashing last?+
Properly installed lead can last 60 years or more. The key is using the right lead code and forming it correctly, which is exactly what our roofers do.
Can you replace stolen or damaged lead?+
Yes. Stolen and storm-damaged lead is common — we replace it like-for-like (or with approved alternatives where appropriate) to make your roof watertight again.
Do you repair leaking valleys?+
We do. Leaking valleys are a frequent cause of damp ceilings. We renew lead or fibreglass valley linings to fix the problem for good.
