Skilled lead work that ensures watertight seals around chimneys, valleys and roof joints — traditional craftsmanship with modern durability.
At LM Roofing, we offer expert roofing lead work services that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern standards of durability and performance. Lead is a long-trusted material in the roofing industry due to its flexibility, strength and resistance to corrosion. Our skilled team provides high-quality lead flashing, valleys, aprons and other bespoke lead components to ensure your roof is fully protected from water ingress and weather damage.
Lead flashing plays a critical role in sealing joints and edges where different parts of the roof meet — around chimneys, dormers and skylights. These vulnerable areas are often the first points where leaks develop, making quality lead work essential. We install and repair lead flashing with precision to create a watertight seal that withstands the test of time.
We work with code-compliant lead materials and adhere to best practices for installation, ensuring all our lead work is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. Our team takes great care in shaping and fitting lead pieces to suit your roof's specific contours and needs — whether you require lead soakers, cover flashings or lead slates.
We specialise in heritage and conservation lead work, ensuring traditional and listed buildings receive the appropriate materials and detailing required for preservation. We understand the importance of maintaining architectural integrity while upgrading performance, and we bring the same level of care to both modern and period properties.
Quality lead flashing, properly installed, can last 50+ years. We use code-compliant materials and traditional dressing techniques to ensure longevity.
Yes — we specialise in heritage and conservation lead work, using the appropriate code weights and detailing required for listed and period properties.
Small splits in otherwise sound lead can sometimes be patched, but cracked lead usually indicates fatigue from age or poor original installation. Replacement is the lasting fix, and we'll quote for both options.
Lead is dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range and can be worked in most weather. Heavy rain or icy conditions can delay a job for safety reasons, but we'll work around the forecast.
From a single chimney flashing to full heritage detailing — we'll get it right.
