Why Homeowners Choose Lead Roofing

- Highly weather resistant: year after year
- Naturally corrosion resistant: from UV & pollution
- Environmentally responsible: fully recyclable
Lead roofing is completely safe when installed by trained professionals. While lead must be handled carefully during fitting, once it’s in place on your roof it poses no risk inside your home. Our team follows strict safety procedures, carries full working-at-height insurance, and ensures all waste materials are removed and recycled responsibly.
A professionally installed lead roof can add real value to your property thanks to its durability, long lifespan and resistance to the elements. Costs and timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the work, but smaller repairs such as flashings or gullies can often be completed in a day, while full installations typically take around two weeks. Most home insurance policies cover sudden damage caused by events like storms, although general wear and tear is usually excluded.
