Leadwork in Loudwater
Lead welding is our speciality across Loudwater — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. Victorian slate roofs around the original mill village still need regular repair; modern homes need lead-tray and dormer flashing work.

Local context — leadwork in Loudwater
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Loudwater. The Victorian terraces in the old mill village have shared chimney stacks — work on one requires coordination with the neighbour, which we handle as part of the quote process. 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 HP10, HP11 with easy access from A40 London Road and M40 Junction 3.

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