Local context — leadwork in Bushey
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Bushey. Bushey Heath is in Hertsmere's conservation area — like-for-like handmade clay and Code 5 lead is required for any visible-elevation work, and Hertsmere's planning officers are stricter than neighbouring Three Rivers on colour matching. 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 WD23 with easy access from M1 Junction 5 and A409.

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