Local context — leadwork in Maidenhead

Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Maidenhead. The Royal Borough enforces stricter Thames-frontage conservation than upstream districts — river-facing roofs at Boulters Lock and Bray Marina need Code 6 lead and hand-rolled ridge on any visible re-lay. 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 SL6 with easy access from M4 Junctions 8/9 and A404.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Maidenhead

Why does my chimney flashing leak?+

Most leaks on Maidenhead 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 Maidenhead. 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 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.

Can you re-line my bay-window roof in lead?+

Yes — code 6 lead bay roofs are bread-and-butter work for us in Maidenhead. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
