Local context — leadwork in Wallingford
Leadwork is our biggest USP and the kind of work that's hardest to find done properly in Wallingford. Wallingford's medieval core is a Scheduled Ancient Monument zone in places — even scaffold anchor points on some Castle Street properties need pre-app archaeology sign-off, which adds 3-4 weeks to programme. 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 OX10 with easy access from A4074 and A4130.

Frequently asked — Leadwork in Wallingford
Why does my chimney flashing leak?+
Most leaks on Wallingford 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 Wallingford. 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.
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.
Can you re-line my bay-window roof in lead?+
Yes — code 6 lead bay roofs are bread-and-butter work for us in Wallingford. We strip the failed covering, replace the timber deck where needed and lay new lead with proper rolls, drips and welts.
