Roofers use lead on all kinds of pitched and flat roofs, as they have done for centuries, because it is the best way to waterproof roof junctions and channel water. Lead also lasts 60-100 years with proper maintenance. However, it can still suffer problems such as stresses from expanding and contracting, wind lift, chemical damage and improper installation.
Up There Roofing recommends regular inspections to identify any issues early on. We can then carry out leadwork repairs before they cause problems. Our roofers also advise checking lead components after storms to ensure strong winds have not distorted or lifted the lead.
At Up There Roofing, we have the experience needed to correctly assess the cause of defects before undertaking the most suitable leadwork repairs or replacements. This involves our roofers checking the overall condition of the lead, how long it’s been in place, any design faults and whether nearby materials or growths, such as moss or algae, are affecting the lead.
When you choose Up There Roofing for services in South Croydon, Caterham, Purley and the surrounding areas, you are choosing a local, trusted company with extensive experience in leadwork repairs. Something that especially sets us apart in the industry as a rare find, is our lead welding. You’ll find that not many roofers specialise in lead welding, but we make a point to as lead welding has many added benefits, including the strengthening of the lead overall. When traditional lead bossing is conducted (this is the process in which our professionals form the shape of lead you desire, by beating it with a basher), it can stretch the lead, making it thinner and weaker. However, when you weld, you are welding two pieces together, theoretically making it stronger, which will make it last longer. This ensures the longevity of the lead, making it a much higher-quality and cost-effective investment for your property.
Furthermore, you have the peace of mind of hiring a fully insured company of roofers with CSCS cards and a commitment to providing exceptional quality through honest services.
