Leadwork specialists in Long Eaton

Leadworks installation involves fitting, repairing or replacing lead components used to protect roofs and masonry from water ingress.

This type of work is commonly found on older properties but is also used on modern buildings where long service life and flexibility are required.

  • Step and cover flashing
  • Valley gutters
  • Lead soakers

  • Parapet and box gutters
  • Dormer and roof abutment detailing

The correct thickness and detailing will depend on location, exposure and building design.

A leadworks installer in Long Eaton can confirm which specification is suitable for your roof.

  • Chimney stacks and abutments
  • Roof-to-wall junctions
