    “Kyle and his team at Alliance Roofing London recently completed a full replacement of our flat roof with a new WarmDeck system. From start to finish, I was very happy with the service provided. The team were professional, polite, hardworking and kept the area clean and tidy throughout the works. Communication was excellent, every stage of the job was clearly explained, and regular progress photos were provided, which gave reassurance throughout the project. The work was completed in a timely manner and the quality of workmanship and materials used appears to be of a very good standard.”

Leadwork specialists in Tooting Bec Common

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.

  • Valley gutters
  • Lead soakers

  • 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 Tooting Bec Common 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.

What to check in a leadworks quote

When reviewing quotes for leadworks installation in Tooting Bec Common, 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 Tooting Bec Common 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.
