General Lead Work

Lead Craft specialises in all aspects of lead work. This includes everything from lead flat roof, lead gutter, lead flashings, pipes, dormers or any thing else connected to lead.

All our work is carried out to the highest standards.

WHY LEAD?
Malleability - Lead is soft, malleable and capable of being manipulated with hand tools and, by the technique of bossing, can be worked into the most complicated of shapes or dressed to fit the many types of profiled roofing tiles.

Durability and Thickness - When specified and fitted correctly, rolled lead sheet can continue to provide a maintenance free weather shield for 100 years. Rolled lead sheet is therefore extremely resistant to atmospheric corrosion. The ideal thickness and size of each piece is determined by the application.

Thermal Movement - Lead sheet has a high coefficient of linear expansion and therefore due allowance for thermal movement must be made in the design, layout, sizing of panels and fixing details to maximize performance.

By having the work carried out by some one with 25 years experience, you know you are getting a first class job. So if it's a lead flat roof, lead gutter, lead flashings, pipes, dormers or any thing else connected to lead give us a try.

Restoration of a Grade Two Listed Georgian Town House
This was done using fiberglass and lead. Fiber glass was used for two reasons firstly to keep the cost down and secondly to help simplify the design.
