Google ReviewsWhy Choose Traditional Leadwork for Your London Property?
For centuries, lead has been the go-to material for protecting critical roof junctions and creating durable roof coverings. Its longevity is unmatched when installed correctly, often lasting longer than the building itself. Lead is incredibly malleable, allowing our skilled roofers to form it precisely around awkward shapes like chimneys or pipe penetrations, creating a seamless barrier against rain. It’s also highly resistant to corrosion and UV rays, making it a sound investment for your London home's roof.
Specialist Lead Flashing Repairs and Installation
Faulty flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. We specialise in installing and repairing lead flashing around chimneys, dormer windows, roof valleys, and where roofs meet walls (abutments). Properly fitted flashing directs water safely away into your gutters. Whether you need urgent chimney flashing repair in Croydon or new lead valley installation in Bromley, our team provides professional solutions using high-quality lead sheeting and proven techniques.
Dealing with Common Lead Roof Problems
Unmatched Reliability and Speed
Even durable lead can develop issues over time, especially if poorly installed initially. Common problems include splits caused by thermal movement (expansion and contraction), corrosion from acid rain runoff, or physical damage. Century Roofing and Building can diagnose and repair these issues. We assess the condition of your leadwork, identify the cause of the failure, and carry out effective repairs or recommend replacement where necessary, preventing costly water damage to your home's structure.
