Google ReviewsWhat Exactly is Lead Work on a Roof?
You've probably seen lead on roofs around Chipping Ongar, often around chimneys, where walls meet the roof, or in roof valleys. It's a malleable, heavy metal sheet used to create watertight seals, known as flashings. Properly installed lead work directs water away from joints and potential weak spots, preventing leaks and protecting the structure of your home for decades. It’s a vital part of keeping your roof performing properly.
Our Chipping Ongar Lead Work Solutions
At Century Roofing and Building, we handle all aspects of lead roofing work. Whether you need repairs to existing lead flashings that have split or failed, or require completely new lead work for an extension, chimney stack, dormer window, or even a full lead flat roof, we have the expertise. We cover everything from small patch repairs to complete replacement projects across Chipping Ongar.
Why Lead Remains a Top Choice for Roofing
Unmatched Reliability and Speed
Despite modern materials, lead is still one of the best choices for weatherproofing roofs. Its incredible durability means it can last for over 100 years if correctly installed. It’s flexible, allowing it to be shaped neatly around complex junctions, and it expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking. Choosing lead means investing in long-term protection for your property.

Spotting Problems: Signs Your Lead Work Needs Attention
Choose Century Roofing & Building today
How do you know if your lead flashing needs repair? Look out for water stains on ceilings or walls inside, especially near chimneys or where roofs join. Damp patches appearing after rain are a classic sign. Outside, you might see splits or cracks in the lead sheeting, pieces lifting away, or white carbonate staining running down tiles below the lead. Don't ignore these signs; prompt repairs prevent bigger problems.
