Roof Leadwork in Chester, Flashings and Repairs

Well-detailed leadwork protects some of the most vulnerable junctions on a roof. Dee Roofing carries out lead repairs and replacement work around chimneys, walls, valleys and other roof details across Chester, including work on traditional properties.

Why lead detailing matters

Lead expands and contracts as temperatures change. Sheet size, laps, fixings, substrate and water flow all affect performance. Repairs should address the underlying reason for failure rather than simply covering a split or applying short-lived sealant.

Lead theft and alternatives

Due to the rise of lead prices and lead theft Dee Roofing also offer a range of lead theft protection products to combat this problem.
