Lead is one of the most reliable and long-lasting materials used in roofing — providing unbeatable protection against water ingress while offering a clean, traditional finish that complements any property.

Professional Leadwork Services in Eastbourne and Sussex

Lead has been used in roofing for centuries thanks to its exceptional strength, flexibility, and weather resistance. It’s a vital component in protecting vulnerable areas of your roof where water could otherwise enter, such as around chimneys, valleys, and roof junctions.

At 5 Star Roofing & Building, we undertake all aspects of roof leadwork, including:

  • Lead Flashing Installation: We install high-quality lead flashing around chimneys, dormers, skylights, and roof joins to create a watertight seal that prevents leaks. Our team uses the correct lead codes and fixings to ensure compliance with building regulations and long-term reliability.
  • Leadwork Repairs: Cracked, split, or poorly fitted lead flashing can quickly lead to leaks and damp problems. We offer expert leadwork repairs to restore your roof’s integrity, extending its lifespan and preventing costly water damage.
  • Lead Replacement and Renewal: If your leadwork is beyond repair, we can carry out full or partial lead replacements, matching existing materials and details for a seamless finish. All replacements are completed with precision to ensure maximum durability.
  • Lead Valleys and Gulleys: Lead is often used in valleys or gulleys where roof sections meet. We repair and install these features to ensure proper water drainage and lasting protection against leaks.
  • Decorative Lead Detailing: In addition to functional leadwork, we also offer decorative lead detailing for period or listed properties, preserving their heritage while maintaining full weather resistance.
