Roof Leadwork, Lead Valleys & Flashings in Nottingham & Derby
What is Roof Leadwork?
Roof leadwork involves shaping and installing lead sheets to seal and protect vulnerable areas of a roof. It is commonly used as flashing to create watertight barriers where different parts of the roof meet, whether in slating or tiling systems or alongside flat and felt roofing applications, preventing water from penetrating the structure.
Why is it Essential?
Leadwork is crucial for maintaining a weatherproof roof. It is highly durable, flexible, and resistant to corrosion, allowing it to withstand harsh weather conditions and natural movement in the building. Properly installed leadwork helps prevent leaks, damp issues, and costly structural damage over time.
Where is it Used?
Leadwork is typically installed around chimneys, roof valleys, dormers, skylights, and junctions where roofs meet walls. These are the most vulnerable areas for water ingress, making effective sealing essential.
