Local context — leadwork in Chinnor
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Chinnor. Chinnor is directly under the escarpment so wind uplift on ridges is a documented problem — mechanical dry-ridge is essential on every OX39 reroof, not an upsell. 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 OX39 with easy access from B4009 and B4445.
Why Chinnor homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing
Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Chinnor — what the original roof detailing looks like, what tends to fail, and which materials match best. That means a more reliable repair, a longer-lasting reroof and a quote you can trust.
Frequently asked — Leadwork in Chinnor
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Chinnor 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 Chinnor. 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.
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.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in OX39 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
