Lead Work in North Wales
Traditional lead flashing, valleys and dormer detailing done properly.
Overview
There's no substitute for well-worked lead. Chimneys, valleys, dormers and abutments — we detail every joint by hand with the correct code lead and traditional techniques that will outlast the building.
Benefits
- Century-plus lifespan when properly detailed
- Bosses to any shape or profile
- Correct code lead for the exposure
- Full compliance with Lead Sheet Association guidance
Common problems
- Splits from incorrect code / oversized bays
- Cement fillets used in place of lead — always fail
- Loose or missing chimney flashings
- Stolen lead — we can advise on protective options
Repair or replace?
If a roofer suggests a cement fillet, walk away. Lead is more expensive up front, but you're not paying to fix it again in 5 years.
Frequently asked
What code of lead do you use?
It depends on the application — Code 4 for most flashings, Code 5 for valleys and gutters, Code 6+ for larger bays and vulnerable areas. We spec it right for each job.
