Leadwork protects some of the most vulnerable areas of a roof, including chimneys, valleys, abutments and other junctions where water could enter the building. Correctly fitted lead provides a durable, weather-resistant barrier while creating a neat finish around the surrounding tiles, slates and brickwork.
R & A Roofing Ltd carries out specialist leadwork across Hampshire as part of roof installations, replacements and repairs. Our family-run team brings more than 25 years of practical roofing experience to every project, carefully shaping and fitting each section to suit the individual roof.
Our roofing leadwork services cover chimney flashing, roof valleys, abutments and junctions where the roof meets walls, dormers or other surfaces. We undertake leadwork on domestic and commercial properties, as well as new build and re-roofing projects.
Lead must be measured, formed and fixed correctly to provide effective protection. It also needs sufficient allowance for natural expansion and contraction as temperatures change. Careful installation helps prevent splitting, lifting and gaps that could allow rainwater beneath the roof covering.
Existing leadwork can become loose, damaged or worn over time. We assess the condition of the surrounding roof before recommending a suitable repair or replacement, ensuring the new leadwork works effectively with the existing tiles, slates and drainage details.
