Local context — leadwork in Brackley
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Brackley. West Northamptonshire building control differs from Bucks next door — building-notice fees and inspection lead times are longer, and we build that into NN13 programme dates. 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 NN13 with easy access from A43 and A422.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Brackley
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Brackley 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 Brackley. 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.
Do you fit lead trays on replacement windows?+
Yes — every time we install or replace a dormer or bay where the window meets a flat surface, a proper bossed lead tray with cover flashing is essential.
Can you re-line my bay-window roof in lead?+
Yes — code 6 lead bay roofs are bread-and-butter work for us in Brackley. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
