Local context — leadwork in Pitstone
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Pitstone. The former cement works site had restrictive covenants on external appearance — we check covenants at quote stage rather than at planning submission. 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 B488 and B489.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Pitstone
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Pitstone 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 Pitstone. 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.
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.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in LU7 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
