Stay Dry Roofing — Leadwork
Leadwork in Richmond & South West London
Hand-dressed lead flashings, valleys and bays — the craft that defines a quality roof.
Leadwork is the unsung craft of roofing. Done well, it's the detail that makes a roof genuinely weathertight at every junction, abutment and valley — and it's the single greatest difference between a roof that lasts fifty years and one that fails in fifteen. Stay Dry Roofing is proud to be one of South West London's true leadwork specialists.
We hand-dress code-3 to code-8 lead for flashings, soakers, valleys, gutters and bay tops, working to the standards set by the Lead Sheet Association. Correct lead thickness, appropriate jointing, and adequate allowance for thermal movement are what prevent the cracking and splitting that ruins lesser work.
From a single chimney flashing to a complete lead valley system, our leadwork is performed by experienced craftsmen and built to outlast the roof around it.
