Leadwork in Slough
Lead welding is our speciality across Slough — hand-formed flashings, valleys and bay roofs to LSA guidance. SL1 and SL2 are dominated by inter-war and post-war housing stock — original clay tile in the older estates, concrete tile from the 1960s-70s reroof cycle now failing on the newer post-war blocks.

Local context — leadwork in Slough
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Slough. Slough Borough has one of the highest urban population densities in the country — party-wall notices, resident consultation and CPZ permits are essential and we build them into every quote. 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 SL1, SL2, SL3 with easy access from M4 Junctions 5/6/7 and A4.
Why Slough homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing
Local knowledge counts. We know the housing stock in Slough — 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 Slough
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Slough 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 Slough. 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 SL1/SL2/SL3 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.
