ROOFING LEADWORK IN OXFORD AND THE COTSWOLDS

Customer care is our highest priority, so your satisfaction is our main focus.

Lead roofing is a traditional yet innovative solution that has been a cornerstone of roofing in Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds for centuries.

Roofing Leadwork stands out for several reasons. Its incredible longevity means a lead roof can last over a century. It’s also highly malleable, making it ideal for complex roof shapes – especially where pitched roofs join walls and chimneys. Additionally, lead’s resistance to corrosion ensures that roofing leadwork withstands harsh weather, a significant consideration in roofing.

Lead roofs consist of lead ‘flashing’ – sections used to seal and protect joints – and ‘cladding’, which covers roof surfaces.

The thickness of the lead sheet used in roofing is tailored to each project, ensuring durability and efficiency.

We have been repairing and installing roofing leadwork on residential and commercial properties around Oxford and the Cotswolds for over 30 years, so if your roofing leadwork needs repairing or replacing, get in touch today for your free, no obligation quote.

What are the benefits of roofing leadwork?

Durable and Long Lasting

Lead is incredibly long lasting and one of the most durable roofing elements available. Not only does it resist corrosion and warping, it’s flexibility allows it to adapt to temperature changes and shifts in the roofing structure without losing its effectiveness. Lead is naturally waterproof and remains effective in the even the worst weather.
Aesthetic Appeal

Lead has long been used for its traditional appeal, suiting historical buildings of which there are many within Oxford and The Cotswolds. The flexibility of lead also makes it ideal for use on the sometimes complex structures of older buildings. Properties with high-quality leadwork are often regarded as more desirable, particularly for buyers who appreciate the authenticity and character of older buildings.
Resists Leakage

Lead is an extremely effective waterproofing material, and because it is seamless it is much less prone to leaks, offering peace of mind. It is commonly used for flashings, roof valleys, and joints, areas where leaks are most likely to occur with other materials, but it can also be used on flat roofs.

Low maintenance

Due to its resistance to corrosion and wear, lead doesn’t need frequent inspections or repairs. Removal of moss or debris is the main maintenance task, but overall leadwork has low demands when it comes to upkeep. This is beneficial to older properties in Oxford and the Cotswolds, where access for maintenance may be more difficult.
Flexibility

Lead is highly flexible and malleable, which allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, from small detailing (like gutters and flashings) to larger roof sections. Its ability to expand and contract with temperature changes without breaking means it resists various weather conditions. This flexibility makes it ideal when dealing with complex roof structures that may be found on historical buildings in Oxford and The Cotswolds.
Sustainability

Lead roofing is considered a green building material due to its long lifespan and recyclability. It is 100% recyclable and can be reused repeatedly without losing its quality or performance. Lead is also naturally sourced, reducing its environmental impact and the carbon footprint of properties it is used on.
