Leadwork in Ruislip
Lead welding is our speciality across Ruislip — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. HA4 is dominated by inter-war clay-tile semis with original 1930s Marley or Redland tiles now at end of life — Metroland tile-and-lead detailing on bay windows is characteristic.

Local context — leadwork in Ruislip
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Ruislip. Ruislip's Metroland conservation area covers the High Street and Bury Street — original small-format tile and lead soakers must be replaced like-for-like, which limits reroof spec choices. 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 HA4 with easy access from A40 Western Avenue and A4180.

Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Ruislip — 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 Ruislip
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Ruislip 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 Ruislip. 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 HA4 are mortar-fillet failures or substituted "lead-look" tape — not the lead itself.
