Leadwork and flashing - traditional and reliable protection

Lead is a highly versatile roofing material, renowned for its traditional and reliable protection. As a popular choice for both roof repair and flashing, lead sheet is soft and malleable, allowing it to be carefully shaped to fit a variety of surfaces and configurations. Its exceptional flexibility is matched by its durability, thanks to its natural resistance to corrosion and water.

With its myriad of useful properties, leadwork stands as a valuable component in any roofing project, although traditionally associated with slate and tiled roofing and brickwork. Our team at QRS Roofing is proficient in all types of lead detailing, ensuring that your lead roof requirements are met with precision and expertise. Whether your needs are large or small, we offer a comprehensive and specialised service covering maintenance, repair, and replacement.

Lead serves a crucial role in sealing joints between surfaces, commonly known as "flashing." Properly installed lead flashing acts as a barrier between your roof and brickwork, preventing leaks and safeguarding against unpredictable weather changes. From walls and doors to skylights, vents, and roof valleys, lead flashing can be found throughout your home, providing essential protection.
