Lead Flashing & Leadwork in Sheffield
Lead seals the joins where the roof meets chimneys, walls, dormers and valleys. When it cracks, slips or was badly fitted, water finds its way in. We replace or re-dress leadwork with the right thickness and detailing, so it lasts.

FAQs
Lead Flashing & Leadwork: your questions answered
How long does lead flashing last?
Well-fitted lead can last for decades. Problems usually come from poor fitting, the wrong thickness or failing mortar joints, rather than the lead wearing out.
Is lead the only option?
There are lead alternatives, which suit some jobs and are less attractive to thieves. On many roofs, especially older properties, lead is still the best long-term choice.
Why not just use sealant?
Sealants and tapes can stop a leak for a while, but they break down in sun and frost. Properly dressed lead is the lasting fix.
