Local context — leadwork in Chalfont St Giles
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Chalfont St Giles. Properties in the conservation area need handmade peg-tile sourced to match — we keep stocks of common Chiltern profiles and source reclaimed where the planners require it. 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 HP8 with easy access from A413 and B4442.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Chalfont St Giles
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Chalfont St Giles 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 Chalfont St Giles. 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 Chalfont St Giles. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
