Leadwork specialists in Ramsbottom

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.

A leadworks installation service in Ramsbottom can assess detailing, exposure and roof design before carrying out the work.

  • Lead flashing around chimneys
  • Step and cover flashing
  • Valley gutters
  • Lead soakers
  • Apron flashing
  • 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 Ramsbottom can confirm which specification is suitable for your roof.

Where leadworks are commonly used

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

  • Historic and traditional buildings

In heritage properties, leadwork is often preferred due to its compatibility with traditional materials.
