Lead Work & Flashing in Groby

Lead Work in Groby: what to know

Lead sits at every junction on a Groby roof: chimney flashings and soakers on the pre-war houses, the valley where a 1970s estate semi meets its side extension, bay and porch tops. Much of it is sixty years old, split along the laps by thermal movement, or fitted too long in one length and torn. We strip and renew it in Code 4 for flashings and heavier codes where a valley demands it, dressed and clipped so it moves with the seasons rather than fighting them — on interlocking concrete, clay tile and the Swithland slate of the cottages out at Newtown Linford.
