Georgian Roofing provides specialist lead roof repair, lead roof replacement and new leadwork installation services throughout London and the surrounding areas. We undertake traditional and modern leadwork across residential, commercial and heritage properties, delivering durable and weather-resistant details that complement the character of each building.
Lead Roof Repair
Defective leadwork can allow water to penetrate some of the most vulnerable areas of a roof. Our lead roof repair service addresses split or fatigued lead, failed joints, loose flashings, defective fixings, corrosion and details that have been incorrectly designed or installed.
Before recommending remedial work, we assess the condition and age of the leadwork, the supporting substrate and any underlying design or installation faults. This helps establish whether a localised repair is appropriate or whether more extensive replacement is required.
Lead Roof Replacement
Where existing leadwork has reached the end of its serviceable life, suffered widespread deterioration or cannot accommodate thermal movement correctly, Georgian Roofing can undertake a complete lead roof replacement .
Our work includes the careful removal of existing lead, preparation or renewal of the supporting substrate and installation of new rolled lead sheet using the appropriate details, sheet sizes, joints and fixings for the application.
