Our roofing company uses lead to seal and protect many different areas of a roofing structure, especially those in vulnerable positions. Property owners in a wide range of Sussex locations near our hometown of Worthing, including the Arundel, Brighton, East Preston and Woodingdean areas, find that leadwork is compromised on the joins of the chimney, or on dormers, gutters and valleys.
While lead is an excellent material choice due to its durability, versatility and resistance to corrosion, it is by no means immune to exhibiting tell-tale signs of wear and tear, or even outright damage caused by environmental factors or by third-party contractors working on your roof who have not been careful.
We use our experience in leadwork on new roof installations, roof repairs and a wider range of services, such as chimney repairs. We conduct leadwork on a standalone basis if required to, perhaps because existing lead flashing has failed, been poorly installed or is beginning to show worrying signs of age.
Leadwork is also considered with undertaking soffit and fascia replacements or if our roofing company is installing in-roof solar systems from Sandtoft.
Due to the fact leadwork requires specialist skillsets, equipment and expertise to be finished to a high standard, we recommend bringing in a dependable roofing company to oversee your installation, such as JAH Roofing Specialists.
The Uses of Leadwork in Roofing
Some aspects and uses of leadwork for roofing include lead flashings, valley linings, aprons, gutter linings, chimney flashings, dormer flashings and roof window flashings, which we have been known to install and repair for clients in Arundel, Brighton, East Preston, Woodingdean, Worthing and Sussex. While it is more common to find leadwork on pitched roofs, our company can also provide an installation and restoration service for homes with flat roofing.
Leadwork seals and protects different parts of a roof from damage related to corrosion, and also helps in managing other issues. It is a durable and flexible material that is commonly used in roofing work due to its ability to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting protection for all property types.
