Local context — leadwork in Radlett
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Radlett. Radlett is one of Hertsmere's most restrictive conservation areas — like-for-like handmade clay, Code 5 lead and original chimney-pot profiles are non-negotiable on any visible reroof. 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 WD7 with easy access from A5183 Watling Street and M25 Junction 22.
Why Radlett homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing
Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Radlett — 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 Radlett
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Radlett 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 Radlett. 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.
How long does properly installed lead last?+
100+ years for sheet lead used correctly. Most leaks we fix in WD7 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
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.
