Leadwork specialists in Sturminster Newton

  • Chimney stacks and abutments
  • Roof-to-wall junctions
  • Valleys and gutters

What to check in a leadworks quote

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

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

  • Timescales for completion

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.
