Leadwork across Staines-upon-Thames and West London
Leadwork is the metal that seals the joints a roof cannot tile over: chimney flashings, soakers and back gutters, valley linings, abutment flashings where a roof meets a wall, dormer cheeks and parapet gutters. Most persistent leaks that survive several repairs turn out to be leadwork that was done wrong.
The common faults are all avoidable: a bay made too long so thermal movement splits it, the wrong code of lead for the exposure, a flashing not chased far enough into the joint, or a bead of sealant run along the top edge instead of the lead being re-dressed. Getting it right first time ends the cycle of repairs that never quite hold.
We use the correct code, keep bays within the recommended lengths, and chase and wedge the flashing properly rather than sticking it on. Sound lead is re-dressed and reused where it can be, and you get an honest view of what needs renewing and what does not.
We work across Staines-upon-Thames and the TW18 postcodes in West London, including Sunbury, Ashford, Wraysbury, Chertsey and Shepperton. Ring 01784 775917 and you will get someone who knows the area.
