Leadwork in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

Is your chimney looking a bit worse for wear? It is a common story for many homeowners we chat with. The lead 'flashing'—that silver-grey border where your chimney meets the roof—can eventually crack or pull away over time. Once that happens, it is an open invitation for water to find its way into your loft. We specialise in replacing these worn-out flashings with high-quality lead roofing solutions that are built to last a lifetime.Using traditional techniques like 'bossing' and 'lead burning' (which is just a fancy way of saying lead welding), we shape the metal to fit the unique curves and angles of your roof perfectly. We do not believe in 'one size fits all' or quick fixes. Instead, we ensure every junction is watertight, using the correct lead codes—like Code 4 for flashings or heavier Code 7 for flat roofs—so you won't have to worry about leaks for decades to come.

Imagine the amount of water that pours down your roof during a heavy downpour. Most of it ends up in the 'valleys'—those internal V-shaped channels where two roof slopes meet. If the lead in those valleys is split or poorly installed, you are going to have a headache on your hands. We see this all the time in older Gloucestershire properties where the original lead has finally reached its limit.We can strip out the old, failing material and install fresh, durable lead valleys that channel water away safely. It is a job that requires a steady hand and a lot of experience to get right. Because we are based locally and cover a 25-mile radius of Stonehouse, we can usually get out to see you quickly if you suspect your valleys are failing. Why wait for the next big storm to find out there is a problem? Give us a call on 0117 428 9043 and we will come take a look for you.

One of the best things about lead is its incredible lifespan. While modern plastics and felts might last twenty or thirty years if you are lucky, a well-installed lead roof can easily last over a century. It is also one of the most eco-friendly materials out there because it is 100% recyclable. When you choose NTL Roofing for your leadwork, you are not just fixing a leak; you are making a long-term investment in your property.We apply patination oil to all our new leadwork as standard.
