Local context — leadwork in Abbots Langley
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Abbots Langley. Three Rivers District enforces stricter chimney-stack removal rules than Dacorum next door — even structurally redundant stacks in a conservation street need pre-app confirmation, which we process before scaffold. We work to Lead Sheet Association guidance on every job — code 4 for cover flashings, code 5 for valleys and abutments, code 6+ for bay and dormer roofs — and we weld on site rather than relying on mastic.
We work across WD5 with easy access from M25 Junction 20 and A4008 Langley Road.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Abbots Langley
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Abbots Langley chimneys come from old mortar fillets, fatigued lead or missing soakers — not the bricks. Properly dressed and welded code 4 or 5 lead is the fix.
Do you weld lead on site?+
Yes — full on-site lead welding for bay roofs, dormers, box gutters and bespoke flashings across Abbots Langley. It's a traditional craft and our biggest USP.
What code of lead do you use?+
Code 4 for most flashings, Code 5 for valleys and abutments, Code 6+ for bay/dormer roofs. We use the right code for the job — no shortcuts.
Can you re-line my bay-window roof in lead?+
Yes — code 6 lead bay roofs are bread-and-butter work for us in Abbots Langley. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
Do you do lead-lined valleys?+
Yes — continuous code 5 lead valleys with proper undercloak and step-flashing where the valley meets the wall. Far more reliable than the GRP or fibre alternatives.
