GET A QUOTELead Work in Cottam
Good leadwork is a craft, not a bodge with a bucket of sealant. Sheet lead needs to be the right code for the exposure, cut to manageable lengths, dressed to shape and mechanically fixed so it can expand and contract without tearing. That is the standard we work to on every job. Covering Cottam and the surrounding villages, we form flashings, valley linings and soakers on both heritage and modern roofs, replacing tired lead that has reached the end of its life.
What the work involves
For chimney flashings we combine several elements: a front apron, stepped flashing dressed into the brickwork courses, cover flashing and back gutter or soakers between the tiles. Each piece is cut from the correct code lead, dressed tight to the roof and chimney, wedged into raked-out joints and repointed. Where sheets join, we use lead welding rather than solder for a stronger, longer-lasting seam. The finished flashing sheds water cleanly away from the stack.

Will replacing lead flashing take all day?
A straightforward chimney or abutment flashing is usually a day's work. Valley linings, bay roofs and multiple flashings take longer, often a couple of days, particularly if scaffolding is needed or old lead has to be removed first. We will confirm the expected duration in your quote, and wet weather can push things back since lead cannot be dressed safely in the rain.
What are the signs of failed lead flashing?
Look for damp appearing indoors close to chimneys, party walls or roof abutments, and for flashing that is cracked, split, lifting at the edges or slipping out of the mortar. Oversized old sheets often tear along a line where they have flexed. Any of these means water can get behind the lead. We can survey the roof for free and tell you what is actually failing.
Will you need scaffolding to replace my lead flashing?
It is generally a tidy job. We concentrate on the flashing, valley or bay in question rather than disturbing the wider roof. For anything at height, particularly chimney stacks, we usually require scaffolding or a tower to work safely, which we include in the price. You are unlikely to notice much indoors, and we always clean up lead offcuts and rubbish afterwards.
Is your leadwork guaranteed?
We are fully insured, which protects both you and us throughout the job. We take pride in our workmanship and back it accordingly. Correctly sized, dressed and mechanically fixed lead lasts far longer than a sealant repair, and we will explain exactly what is covered when we quote so there are no surprises down the line.
Why use lead welding instead of solder or sealant on flashings?
We size lead to the exposure: code 4 is common for stepped and cover flashings, while code 5 is used for heavier duty details like valleys and aprons that take more water and wear. Where sheets join, we lead-weld the seam, which fuses the lead into one and outlasts soldered or sealant joints. Correct coding and welding are what stop cracking and give the flashing a long service life.
