Why do we recommend lead for so many crucial roofing applications? Simply put, it’s a material with an impressive lifespan and outstanding flexibility. Lead can last for well over 100 years when properly installed and maintained, often outliving the property it protects. Its malleability allows our skilled roofers to mould it perfectly around architectural features, creating bespoke, watertight seals that stand the test of time. Beyond its incredible durability and weather resistance, lead also offers a classic, stylish finish that complements many traditional and contemporary properties throughout Bolsover. It's also fully recyclable, making it an environmentally conscious choice for your roofing project.

This commitment to quality assurance means you receive a superior finish that genuinely protects your property. For major works involving lead, we even offer a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind.

Many homeowners in Bolsover discover issues with their lead work when they notice damp or draughts. The most common areas to check include:

• Chimney Flashings: The lead aprons and soakers around your chimney are vital for preventing water ingress. Cracks or lifting here are a frequent cause of leaks.
• Valley Gutters: Found where two pitched roof sections meet, lead valleys channel significant amounts of rainwater. Blockages or splits can cause serious water damage.
• Dormer Window Flashings: Just like chimneys, dormer windows rely on expertly fitted lead to keep them watertight.
• Parapet Walls: Lead capping and flashings on parapet walls prevent water from penetrating the brickwork.
  If you're unsure, our team can conduct a thorough roof inspection to identify any compromised lead work and provide a clear plan for repair or replacement.
