Lead has been used as a waterproof roofing material since ancient times and can be sometimes seen as greenish roofs and domes on today’s buildings.

We use tried and tested lead roofing fixings and techniques that make lead the ideal trouble-free building material for roofing, cladding, flashing, gutters, and down-pipes and it’s no different when it comes to Lead Valleys Roofing and Lead Valleys Repaired among other architectural designs.
 

Advances in technology and techniques, machinery, and fixing technologies have greatly reduced costs, which enables lead to be used in a greater variety of building situations than in the past.
 

Over the years we have been providing solutions, we have developed custom solutions for nearly every type of situation, as well as the ability to resolve any unique challenge.

There are then two basic fitting methods: the roll baton or standing seam methods. When using the roll baton method, batons are securely fixed to the deck, forming the bays which are a characteristic feature of these roofs. The lead bays are formed to the exact specifications of your roof, and fixed into the prepared bays. Cappings and trims are welded on to provide a watertight seal at all the joints.
 

Using the standing seam method, the lead is secured to the roof by the means of stainless steel clips, fitted between the upstands of the bays, which are then welted together.
