Lead Work & Flashing · BeverleyLead Work & Flashing in Beverley
Behind Beverley's Georgian facades lies a great deal of lead: parapet gutters, valleys, bay window tops and the flashings that seal chimneys through slate and pantile roofs alike. We repair and renew all of it in the appropriate code of lead, using traditional detailing that suits buildings of this age — essential within the conservation area around the Minster and Saturday Market. Well-executed lead work is often the least visible part of a roof, and the longest lived. After a storm blew the covering off a front bay window roof in Beverley, we replaced it in Code 6 lead, with rolled hips and a scalloped apron along the front edge.

Lead Work in Beverley: local factors
Dormer windows are common on the older roofs here, and a dormer carries more leadwork than a plain slope: an apron at the front, cheeks to the sides and a flashing where each meets the covering. Lead moves with temperature and unjointed runs split in time, so lengths, the code of lead and the fixings decide how long the work lasts.

Bay window roof replaced in Code 6 lead
Beverley
A storm blew the original covering off the roof of this front bay window in Beverley, and we replaced it in new Code 6 lead. Code 6 is 2.65 mm sheet — heavier than the Code 4 used for flashings — which suits a bay top because it is a small roof in its own right, not a flashing. The hips are formed as rolls so the sheets can move with the heat without splitting, the front edge is dressed down into a scalloped apron, and a lead flashing is let into the brickwork where the bay meets the wall.
