Local roofing challenge — Large detached properties around The Common typically have 3-4 chimney stacks each and complex valley/dormer detailing — proper lead welding (not lead-look flashband) is essential to keep them watertight long-term.
On the ground — SL9 properties around Camp Road and Layters Way commonly have lead-rolled bay-window roofs over original handmade tile — we re-lay these in single bossed sheets rather than soldered patches, which is the only spec that survives long-term.
