Haslemere, Surrey

Lead for Bays & Dormers

If the lead on the bay window or porch roof of your Haslemere home has cracked or lifted, the boards beneath may already be getting wet. Each piece is kept to a manageable length and taken from a code suited to where it sits, so it is thick enough to last without being hard to shape.

Our roofers dress lead for bay and porch roofs in Haslemere and in Knowl Hill, Marlow and Gerrards Cross, checking the timber boards first so the new covering has a sound base.

Leadwork: How It Works

How a Leadwork Job Runs

Each roof differs, but most leadwork follows the same broad stages from first look to final check.

1

Inspect the Joints

We look at the existing lead, the mortar and the tiles around it to find where water is getting in and why the old lead failed.

2

Written Quote

You receive a written price listing each piece of lead, its code and the fixing method, along with the days we plan to be on site.

3

Strip & Refit

Old lead and loose mortar come out, the chases are cleaned, and new lead is cut, dressed and fixed with room to expand.

4

Final Check

Once the last piece is pointed in and the offcuts are gone, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

Leadwork FAQs

Leadwork FAQs in Haslemere

Do You Replace Lead Flashings in Haslemere?

Yes. Our team replaces chimney and wall flashings, valleys, lead-lined gutters and bay roofs in Haslemere, as well as in Knowl Hill, Marlow and Gerrards Cross. We find out why the old lead let water in, then send a fixed written price. There is no charge for the visit or the quote, so call us to arrange a time.

Can You Fix Leadwork on a Period Home in Haslemere?

Yes. Older houses often carry lead around chimneys, bays, porches and parapet gutters, and where lead was used originally we normally renew it in lead. We follow the existing detailing where it worked well and agree the price in writing before any old lead comes off.

What Is a Lead Code?

A lead code is a number that describes the thickness and weight of the sheet. Thinner codes are easier to dress into tight shapes, so they suit step flashings, while heavier codes go where lead lies flatter and has to resist wear, such as valleys, gutters and bay roofs. Picking the right code for each position has a big effect on how long leadwork lasts.

Why Has the Lead Around My Chimney Cracked?

Lead expands in summer heat and contracts in winter. If a piece was fitted too long, nailed too tightly or cut from a code that was too thin, that movement eventually splits it. Old pointing that has fallen out of the chase also lets water behind the flashing. We work out which of these caused the problem before pricing the replacement.

Can You Replace Lead Without Re-Roofing?

Usually, yes. Flashings, valleys and bay roofs can normally be replaced on their own, lifting only the tiles or slates next to them and refixing them afterwards. Where the surrounding covering is in poor condition we will tell you, and you decide whether to deal with it now or leave it for another time.

Is Lead Still the Best Material for Flashings?

Lead remains the traditional choice because it is heavy, holds its shape once dressed, and can be formed around brick, stone and tile without joints. Other materials exist, but lead is still what most roofers reach for on period properties and complicated junctions. We will explain the options on your roof and let you choose.
