Leadwork in Hemel Hempstead
Lead welding is our speciality across Hemel Hempstead — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. Original Development Corporation housing across HP2 and HP3 used Marley Ludlow concrete tile that's now at end of life; the Old Town and Boxmoor carry Victorian slate and handmade clay; newer estates have flat-roof porches and dormers ripe for EPDM upgrades.

Local context — leadwork in Hemel Hempstead
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Hemel Hempstead. The 1950s-60s Commission-built estates in Adeyfield and Bennetts End are all reaching reroof age at once — original 3x3 lath spacing was tight, so a strip-and-relay to modern breathable membrane (Klober Permo) is the only compliant spec. 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 HP1, HP2, HP3 with easy access from M1 Junctions 8/9 and A41.

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