Local context — leadwork in Buckingham
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Buckingham. Lead-lined parapet gutters on Georgian terraces in the town centre are the single biggest source of leaks — we strip, re-board and re-lay in code 6 lead with proper drips and rolls. 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 MK18 with easy access from A413 and A421.

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