Local context — leadwork in Bracknell
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Bracknell.

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 RG12, RG42 with easy access from M4 Junction 10 and A329(M).

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Bracknell
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Bracknell 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 Bracknell. 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 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.
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.
