Leadwork in Carshalton, Leatherhead, Redhill and Across all Locations in the London, Surrey and Sussex Areas
Leadwork is a common feature on the roofs of most properties, both old and new. When used to seal joints, lead must combine watertight performance with good thermal movement. At Astute Roofing, we strongly recommend that you have the leadwork repaired, or replaced, by a reputable roofing company much like our own. Using a trusted team of roofers ensures that all joints have been sealed properly and won’t allow water into the property.
With offices in Surrey and Sussex which cover Banstead, Dorking, Haywards Heath, Leatherhead, Redhill and Reigate, and another in London where we have roofers working in areas like Balham, Clapham and Carshalton, Astute Roofing can install or repair leadwork to a professional standard.
Our services include:
- A survey of the leadwork and full site preparation
- Lead welding, repairs and maintenance
- Lead sheet roofing and lead flashing installation
Signs of failed leadwork can include ripples and splits, damage to the lead’s underlay, corrosion on or beneath the leadwork, worn fixings, or the use of low-end fixings by the original roofers which restrict thermal movement.
Our roofing company can also replace oversized sections of lead.
You can arrange leadwork services anywhere in London, Surrey and Sussex to benefit from our 50 years of trade experience knowing that we complete the job with the safety of the property and wellbeing of the customer in mind.
Leadwork Costs
While we aim to keep our prices fair, the cost of leadwork can vary based on the size of the job, the amount of material needed and the number of roofers we assign to a project to ensure completion of work in a sensible timescale.
Leadwork Repairs
If you need Astute to repair leadwork, the most common method any roofing company uses is to make oval chocks with 25mm lead strips which are slightly wider than the mortar chase, and to drive then into joints to form a wedge.
Leadwork Replacement
Should leadwork need replacing, our roofers can apply new lead sheeting and weld it to cover ripples, splits and cracks. This is a cost-effective method of replacement and one which can also be used to undertake spot repairs.
It is important to have the leadwork repaired or replaced as soon as it shows signs of wear, tear or damage. Like any material that is constantly exposed to the elements, lead will deteriorate over time but can constantly outlast the lifespan of the roof in most cases. By preventing leaks and water penetration, your property is at less risk to issues such as mould, mildew and rotting.
Please call us today for a free, no-obligation quotation in Balham, Banstead, Carshalton, Dorking, Haywards Heath, Leatherhead, Redhill or Reigate, or anywhere in London, Surrey or Sussex, and let our roofing company restore the integrity of your damaged leadwork at a price you can genuinely afford.
Complete customer satisfaction is always our priority, and you won’t meet a friendlier team of roofers than the ones we have working here at Astute.
