Overview

Leadwork across Oxford & the whole of Oxfordshire

Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, lead does the work of keeping water out. Good leadwork is a craft: the right code of lead, the right lap, and clean dressing so it sheds water and lasts.

We replace tired, cracked and stolen leadwork, and form new flashings, valleys and soakers for re-roofs and repairs. It is one of the details that separates a roof that lasts from one that leaks.

Pricing

What affects the cost of leadwork in Oxfordshire

Every roof is different, so we price each job on what it actually needs. The main things that affect the cost are:

  • The size and pitch of the roof, and how much access or scaffold the job needs
  • The materials chosen, from budget concrete tile to natural slate or leadwork
  • The condition of the timbers, battens and felt underneath once we open up
  • Whether it is a repair, a partial recover, or a full strip and re-roof

FAQs

Common questions about leadwork in Oxfordshire

Why is lead used on roofs?

Lead is durable, malleable and long-lasting, so it seals the awkward junctions where tiles alone cannot. Properly dressed leadwork lasts for decades.

My flashing has cracked. Can it be repaired?

Sometimes a small split can be patched, but fatigued lead is usually best replaced so it does not keep failing. We will advise on which.

Do you offer free quotes for leadwork?

Yes. We come out, take a proper look at the job and give you a clear, fixed written price for your leadwork at no cost and with no obligation.

Are you insured to carry out leadwork?

We are fully insured with public liability cover and work to safe access standards, using scaffold wherever a job needs it. You are protected from the first visit to the final clean-up.

Do you guarantee your leadwork?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and fit quality materials, so your leadwork is built to last. We will talk you through any manufacturer and workmanship guarantees that apply to your job.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the size of the job and the weather, but we prioritise active leaks and storm damage. Get in touch and we will give you a realistic timescale.
