What leadwork & flashing in Read actually involves
Our typical Read scope
Lead is the difference between a roof that lasts 50 years and one that leaks at every junction. We dress lead flashings around chimneys and abutments, form valleys, aprons and step flashings, and re-cover lead bay-window roofs in heritage code 5 lead with rolled joints — exactly the way they were originally built.
What's included
- Workmanship guarantee on every joint
- Patination oil applied to prevent staining
- Lead valleys, aprons and saddles
- Bay-window and porch roof re-covering
- Code 4–5 lead supplied and dressed on site
