Leadwork in Aylesbury
Lead welding is our speciality across Aylesbury — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. Lots of 1960s-70s concrete-tile roofs (Marley Ludlow Plus, Redland Stonewold) are now due for full reroof; new-build estates need flat-roof and lead-tray work on porches and bay roofs; the conservation area around Castle Street and Church Street has handmade clay plain-tile cottages with original lead valleys.

Local context — leadwork in Aylesbury
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Aylesbury. Estates like Berryfields, Kingsbrook, Fairford Leys and Watermead are reaching the age where original concrete tiles fade and crack — we're doing full strip reroofs with upgraded breathable membranes (Klober Permo) across HP18, HP19 and HP21 weekly. Conservation properties in the Old Town need handmade clay and Code 5 lead to pass council sign-off. 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 HP17, HP18, HP19, HP20, HP21, HP22 with easy access from A41 and A413.

Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Aylesbury — what the original roof detailing looks like, what tends to fail, and which materials match best. That means a more reliable repair, a longer-lasting reroof and a quote you can trust.
Frequently asked — Leadwork in Aylesbury
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Aylesbury 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 Aylesbury. 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.
Will lead patina match my existing flashings?+
Fresh lead weathers to match within 12-18 months. We can apply patination oil at install to speed up the colour match and prevent white carbonate staining.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in HP17/HP18/HP19/HP20/HP21/HP22 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
