Lead Work & Flashing in Bilton
Bay windows, porch roofs and chimney junctions on Bilton's inter-war and post-war homes all depend on lead that's now often decades old and splitting along its dressing lines. We replace it with the correct code lead for each detail — flashings, valleys and full bay-window coverings — welted and fixed so it moves with the seasons instead of cracking. From Sutton-on-Hull terraces to detached homes near Ganstead, it's precise work we're happy to be judged on.

Lead Work in Bilton: local factors
Where lead has been run in single pieces that are too long, it tends to fail in a predictable spot, because the metal cannot expand and contract as it should and the sheet eventually splits at a fold. Older buildings frequently carry runs longer than current practice allows, so a strict like-for-like replacement can repeat the fault. Against brick, the chase wants raking out, the lead wedging and the joint repointing — not simply sealing over.
