Leadwork plays an integral role in the structure and durability of your roof. Lead flashings act as a joint to connect various parts of your roof and ensure it is protected from the elements.
Though it is one of the oldest building materials still in use lead is also one of the most durable.
Its resistance to atmospheric corrosion means lead will last longer than any of its synthetically produced alternatives. So while lead may be slightly more expensive initially, its durability and lifespan means it offers the best value for money long-term.
Specialist Skills
Leadwork and roof flashing is a specialist skill and should not be attempted by the novice. If not done correctly it can cause further damage to your roof.
Simpson Dennis roofers have over 35 years’ experience and are highly skilled in carrying out all kinds of leadwork from roof flashings at valleys, to more complex work on dormers and other roofing features.

Called Simpson Dennis Roofing after a ridge tile came loose in high winds. They had someone working in the area who came to see us within a few hours, and was up on the roof fixing the tile straight away. I was advised of the cost of repairs before any work was done. No hesitation to recommend based on my experience, and would definitely be my first port-of-call in the future.
