At RoofSurv Hampshire, leadwork is treated as a specialist discipline. The material must be carefully shaped, formed and installed to suit the exact structure it protects. With extensive hands-on experience, our team delivers lead installations, repairs, flashing and full replacements with a focus on accuracy, durability and clean workmanship.
Not all roofing materials offer the same balance of flexibility, strength and lifespan. Lead stands apart because it adapts to complex structures while maintaining exceptional resistance to corrosion and weathering.
When installed correctly, lead can last for decades – often exceeding the lifespan of many alternative materials. Its ability to form tight, weatherproof seals makes it particularly effective around vulnerable areas such as chimneys, valleys and roof junctions, where water ingress is most likely to occur.
Beyond performance, lead offers a timeless appearance that suits both period properties and contemporary designs, while also being fully recyclable – making it a practical and sustainable choice.
Lead is rarely used across an entire roof – it excels in the details that matter most. RoofSurv Hampshire undertakes a wide range of specialist leadwork applications, ensuring each element is formed and fitted with precision.
Chimney flashing is one of the most critical areas, where poor installation can quickly lead to water penetration. We ensure all flashing is correctly detailed and securely installed to protect the roof structure over the long term.
We also install and repair lead-lined valleys, which channel water safely off the roof, along with parapet cappings, dormer coverings and bespoke lead features. Each project is approached individually, ensuring the solution fits both the structure and the architectural style.
Reliable repairs depend as much on materials as they do on workmanship. RoofSurv Hampshire uses proven systems and high-quality materials suited to the demands of the local climate.
Combined with extensive hands-on experience, this ensures repairs are not only effective in the short term but continue to perform under ongoing exposure to weather and environmental stress.
RoofSurv Dorset carries out a wide variety of specialist leadwork services. Chimney flashing is one of the most critical areas of installation, as poorly fitted flashing can allow water to penetrate directly into the roof structure. We ensure all chimney leadwork is securely installed and correctly detailed to prevent long-term moisture issues.
Lead-lined valleys are another essential feature, acting as channels that safely direct rainwater away from roof slopes. We also install and repair parapet wall cappings, dormer coverings and other bespoke lead details. Every element is carefully formed and fitted to provide maximum protection and long-lasting durability. Whether undertaking minor remedial work or a full lead roof installation, we maintain consistent quality standards across every project.
Leadwork is a specialist trade that combines heritage techniques with modern building performance knowledge. Our team applies established methods such as bossing and welding to create seamless joints and watertight finishes capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions.

Lead is produced in different thicknesses - known as “codes” - and selecting the right one is essential. Material that is too thin may wear prematurely, while overly thick lead can restrict natural movement. Correct specification ensures both durability and flexibility.
Lead expands and contracts with temperature changes. If it isn’t installed with this movement in mind, stress can build up and cause splitting over time. Proper detailing allows the material to move naturally without damage.
Yes and often the preferred one. Lead maintains the character of traditional buildings while providing modern levels of protection, making it ideal for conservation-focused projects.
Patination oil helps control the early weathering process, reducing staining and encouraging a more even finish as the lead develops its natural protective layer.
It can be in some areas due to its value. However, secure fixing methods and specialist installation techniques can significantly reduce the risk.
Lead is highly sustainable. Much of it is produced from recycled sources and can be reused again at the end of its life. Its longevity also reduces the need for frequent replacement.
It is generally low maintenance, but periodic inspections are recommended. Checking for debris, secure fixings and any movement in joints helps extend its lifespan.
Yes. Lead is commonly used alongside slate, tile and modern systems. Its flexibility makes it ideal for forming watertight connections between different materials.
