Leadwork plays a vital role in protecting your roof from water damage, especially in vulnerable areas like chimneys, roof valleys, dormers, and abutments. At Vale Roofing 24/7, we provide expert leadwork services across the Forest of Dean, ensuring every detail is finished to the highest standard. Whether you’re repairing old lead flashing or need new leadwork installed as part of a re-roofing project, our skilled team is here to help.
We use traditional techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your leadwork is both functional and visually seamless. Lead is incredibly durable and flexible, which makes it ideal for complex shapes and tight junctions where water typically tries to get in. When installed correctly, it can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Properly fitted leadwork is essential to the longevity and performance of any roof. Poor workmanship can lead to leaks, damp issues, and expensive repairs down the line. That’s why we take the time to do things right – carefully shaping, fixing, and sealing leadwork for a completely watertight finish.
Whether you’re looking for a repair, replacement, or new installation, we offer honest advice and dependable service. From small domestic roofs to larger, more intricate projects, Vale Roofing 24/7 delivers leadwork you can trust.
Lead roofing is a traditional and highly effective solution for flat or low-pitch roofs. Known for its impressive lifespan – often over 100 years – lead is unmatched when it comes to long-term durability and weather protection. At Vale Roofing 24/7, we offer professional lead roofing installations and repairs throughout the Forest of Dean, combining skilled craftsmanship with top-grade materials.
One of the key benefits of lead is its natural ability to expand and contract with changing temperatures without cracking. This flexibility allows it to remain watertight through all seasons, making it a popular choice for heritage buildings and period properties. We work with a range of lead codes and will always recommend the right specification for your roof.
Lead roofing also adds a timeless, premium finish to a property. Its appearance only improves with age, developing a soft patina that blends beautifully with older and contemporary buildings alike. Whether you’re restoring a traditional home or adding character to a modern structure, lead can deliver the ideal balance of performance and aesthetics.
Our experienced roofers are trained in all aspects of lead roofing – from full installations to patch repairs and maintenance. We work with precision and care to ensure every roof we install stands up to the elements and adds lasting value to your property.
