    10.0

    We had a plant growing out of a chimney wall that needed removing and the brickwork repointing. Contacted Pat and he provided an estimate based on sending some photos through. We were able to schedule this in soon after, he arrived on time, did a thorough job and even managed to do a couple of quick extra fixes for a gutter at no extra cost. I also appreciated that he provided photos of before/during/after so I could understand exactly what was done. Would happily use their services again and recommend to others.

Leadwork specialists in New Cross

Leadworks installation involves fitting, repairing or replacing lead components used to protect roofs and masonry from water ingress.

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.

  • Lead flashing around chimneys
  • 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 New Cross can confirm which specification is suitable for your roof.

Where leadworks are commonly used

  • 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.

  • Smaller flashing repairs can often be completed within a few hours.
  • Valley or chimney leadwork may take one to two days.
  • Larger or more complex installations can take several days, particularly where scaffolding is required.

Work is usually scheduled around weather conditions to ensure correct fitting.

What to check in a leadworks quote

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

  • Type and thickness of lead specified
  • Areas included in the work
  • Access arrangements such as scaffolding
  • Removal of old materials
  • Waste disposal
  • Timescales for completion

Comparing detailed quotes from multiple leadwork specialists in New Cross 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 New Cross can ensure joints, fixings and overlaps are installed correctly.
