Lead services across Herefordshire, Monmouthshire & Gloucestershire
WyThere are a few different materials that can be used for roof flashing, including rubber and copper but by far the most common is lead. Lead provides greater durability and strength, and has an incredible lifespan (around 400 years), therefore it’s no surprise that the standard choice for roofing material is lead sheeting, as has been the case for centuries prior.
The very nature of Lead allows it to expand and contract, making it perfect for roofing and more specialised projects alike, ensuring a watertight finish. No matter what the temperature, your lead work should not fall victim to any cracking or melting, meaning it is an ideal solution for those locations that experience even the most extreme British weather! for this reason, you will see lead work on many grand buildings such as churches and cathedrals, where there are complex architectural features at require a reliable and durable material!
