Local context — leadwork in Tring
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Tring. Building Control here sits with Dacorum rather than Bucks Council — we know the local inspectors and how they like reroof notifications submitted, so jobs in HP23 don't get held up. 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 HP23 with easy access from A41 and B4635.
Why Tring homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Tring
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Tring 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 Tring. 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 HP23 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.
