    Roofing 365 Michael were excellent. They sorted out a big problem that I had inherited with my house that I had owed for two years . The extension into the roof that was originally done was sub standard and has caused 6 years or more of leaks into a bay roof . Micheal and his team identified the problem when other builders. And roofers had failed and repaired it to a very high standard . Micheal is an outstanding professional and his team are excellent . I highly recommend this company for high standards of work , efficient, reliable, honest and understanding.

This type of work is commonly found on older properties but is also used on modern buildings where long service life and flexibility are required.

  • Step and cover flashing
  • Valley gutters
  • Lead soakers
  • Apron flashing
  • Parapet and box gutters
  • Dormer and roof abutment detailing

The correct thickness and detailing will depend on location, exposure and building design.

A leadworks installer in Alton can confirm which specification is suitable for your roof.

  • Chimney stacks and abutments
  • Roof-to-wall junctions
  • Valleys and gutters
  • Parapet walls
  • Dormer windows
  • Historic and traditional buildings

In heritage properties, leadwork is often preferred due to its compatibility with traditional materials.

What to check in a leadworks quote

When reviewing quotes for leadworks installation in Alton, it’s important to confirm:

  • Type and thickness of lead specified
  • Areas included in the work
  • Access arrangements such as scaffolding

  • Waste disposal
  • Timescales for completion

Comparing detailed quotes from multiple leadwork specialists in Alton helps you ensure that you're being quoted fair and competitive prices.

Why correct lead detailing matters

Poorly installed leadwork can split, lift or fail prematurely. Correct detailing allows the lead to expand and contract safely while directing water away from vulnerable areas.

A leadworks specialist in Alton can ensure joints, fixings and overlaps are installed correctly.
