Leadwork in Hazlemere
Lead welding is our speciality across Hazlemere — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. Concrete-tile roofs from the 1960s and 70s are now well into their last decade. Reroofs and dry-ridge upgrades are the bread and butter here.

Local context — leadwork in Hazlemere
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Hazlemere. The post-war estates around Hazlemere Crossroads were built with thin-batten concrete tile that fades and frost-cracks — we recommend full strip rather than overlay because the original battens rarely pass inspection. 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 HP15 with easy access from A404 and B474.
Why Hazlemere homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Hazlemere
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Hazlemere 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 Hazlemere. 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.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in HP15 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
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.
