Local context — leadwork in Milton Keynes
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Milton Keynes. Estates like Bradwell Common, Springfield and Furzton are 40+ years old and original concrete tiles are fading and cracking en masse — full strip reroofs with breathable membrane are now routine across MK4-MK13. 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 MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5, MK6, MK7, MK8, MK9, MK10, MK11, MK12, MK13, MK14, MK15 with easy access from M1 Junctions 13/14 and A5.

Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Milton Keynes — what the original roof detailing looks like, what tends to fail, and which materials match best. That means a more reliable repair, a longer-lasting reroof and a quote you can trust.
Frequently asked — Leadwork in Milton Keynes
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes. 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 Milton Keynes. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
