What is Lead Roofing?

Lead roofing uses rolled lead sheeting to create a watertight, flexible covering for roofs and roof features. It is especially suited for flat and low-pitched areas, roof flashings, valleys, and junctions. Lead is highly durable, naturally weather-resistant, and can last over 100 years when installed correctly. Its ability to expand and contract with temperature changes makes it perfect for the UK climate.

Why Lead Roofing?

  • Exceptionally Long-Lasting – Can last over 100 years with minimal maintenance
  • Malleable & Flexible – Ideal for detailing, flashings, and custom roof shapes
  • Weather Resistant – Performs in all climates and forms a natural patina over time
  • Eco-Friendly – 100% recyclable and sustainable
  • Heritage Friendly – Suitable for listed buildings, churches, and traditional architecture
  • Fire & Corrosion Resistant – A natural barrier against moisture and heat
