About lead flashing & leadwork
Lead sits where roofs meet walls, chimneys, windows and each other. This is where most roof leaks start. Good leadwork is a real skill. It needs the right lead, proper steps cut into the mortar, and shaping that lets the metal move without splitting. Our roofers renew flashings, chimney aprons, back gutters, lead valleys, bay-window tops and porch roofs. They also fix split or lifted lead when a full renewal isn't needed. Since theft or budget sometimes rules out lead, they can also advise honestly on modern alternatives.
How we help
Find Trusted Roofers is a national network that connects UK homeowners with local roofers. Since we are not a roofing contractor, we don't do the work ourselves. Instead, you tell us about your lead flashing job once. We then match you with a roofer in our network who covers your postcode and works on your roof type. Every roofer quotes from their own survey, and you deal directly with them and choose whether to proceed.
We check the roofers in our network against Companies House, and confirm public liability insurance. We also note any TrustMark, NFRC or CompetentRoofer membership. We verify what we can, although we don't guarantee the work itself. The work is always contracted directly between you and the roofer.
