Local context — leadwork in Ivinghoe
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Ivinghoe. Ivinghoe is inside the Chilterns AONB and directly under Ivinghoe Beacon — Bucks conservation officer requires like-for-like handmade tile on visible pitches close to the Beacon setting. 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 LU7 with easy access from B489 and B488.

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