We can deal with all types of roofing work which employ conventional materials. In addition our special expertise in leadwork applications means we can cater for the often demanding needs of older and historic listed buildings, where caring and craftsmanship is vital for proper restoration
Lead is an extremely durable and flexible material but it does demand expertise. Good detailing and practice are essential to ensure excessive thermal movement does not open joints, sag flashings or stretch large flat sheets so that they split open.
Old buildings sometime have complex roof structures with hidden gutters and valleys. Leaks are sources of problems which may be out of sight, while slow leaks saturate roof timbers and may lead to dry rot.
