Expert Lead Roofing & Leadwork in Norwich
A surprising number of roof leaks begin not on the open roof but at its junctions, the awkward spots where the roof meets a wall, a chimney or a valley. These are the places that take the most punishment from driving rain, and they are the places where good leadwork quietly earns its keep. When it is formed and fitted properly, lead seals these vulnerable joints for decades. Norwich Roofing Company carries out lead roofing and leadwork for homes and businesses right across Norwich and Norfolk.
Lead has been used on British roofs for centuries, and for good reason. It is soft enough to be worked into complex shapes and tight details, yet tough enough to withstand the weather for a hundred years and more. We work with quality lead sheet in the appropriate codes for each job, shaping and dressing it by hand so it fits the roof precisely and does its job for the long haul.
Leadwork shows up in more places than most people realise. Flashing seals the line where a roof meets a wall or chimney, soakers weave in between tiles at these junctions, and lead valleys carry water down the join where two roof slopes meet. Bay windows, porches and box gutters often rely on lead too. Get any of these right and water simply cannot get in. Get them wrong and they become the weak point of the whole roof.
Above all, leadwork is a craft. Dressing, bossing and welting lead so it sits correctly and allows for movement takes real skill and experience, and hurried or clumsy leadwork tends to split, lift and leak before long. Our roofers take the time to form every detail properly, so your leadwork stays sound and watertight, and every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Where Leadwork Protects Your Roof
Leadwork tends to sit out of sight, but it guards the very spots where roofs are most likely to let water in. Around chimneys, lead flashing and soakers seal the gap between the stack and the tiles. Where a roof meets a wall, a stepped or continuous flashing keeps the join watertight. In the valley between two roof slopes, a lead-lined channel carries away a huge volume of rainwater. Bay windows, porches, dormers and box gutters all lean on lead to stay dry too. These are exactly the details that separate a roof that holds out the weather from one that quietly lets it in, which is why they are worth doing properly.

Norfolk's Leadwork Team
Why Choose Us for Your Leadwork?
Leadwork is a specialist skill, and the difference between good and poor work only shows once the rain comes. At Norwich Roofing Company, we bring the craft and care that proper leadwork demands to every job we take on.
A Traditional Craft, Properly Done
Working lead well takes a practised hand, and our roofers form and dress every detail with the skill it calls for. We would rather take the time to get it right than rush a job that will only come back to haunt you.
Leadwork That Lasts Generations
Quality lead, fitted correctly, can protect the joints of a roof for a century or more. We use the right grade for each job and work it properly, so your leadwork keeps doing its job long after the work is finished.
Watertight Where It Matters Most
The junctions we seal are the very spots where roofs most often leak, so getting them right matters enormously. We make sure every flashing, valley and joint is formed to keep water out for good, not just for a season or two.
Quality Materials, Guaranteed Work
We fit proper lead sheet rather than cutting corners with cheaper substitutes, and we back all our leadwork with our workmanship guarantee. That gives you real confidence in both the material and the fit.

Leadwork Questions Answered
Lead Roofing & Leadwork FAQs for Norwich & Norfolk
Wondering about the leadwork on your roof and want a few things explained? Below are the questions we are asked most often about lead roofing and leadwork around Norwich and Norfolk. If there is anything else you would like to know, our team is always glad to help.
Lead flashing is the strip of shaped lead that seals the join where your roof meets a wall, chimney or other structure. These junctions are among the most common places for a roof to leak, so well-fitted flashing is essential to keeping the water out. When flashing cracks, lifts or corrodes, leaks usually follow.
Lead is one of the most durable roofing materials there is. Fitted properly and left undisturbed, quality leadwork can protect the joints of a roof for a hundred years or more, comfortably outlasting most other parts of the roof. The key is that it is formed and fixed correctly in the first place.
Lead is used wherever a roof needs a watertight seal at an awkward junction. That includes flashing around chimneys and walls, soakers between tiles at these joints, valleys between two roof slopes, and details around bay windows, porches, dormers and box gutters. Anywhere water needs guiding safely away, lead often does the job.
Yes. Alongside fitting new lead, we repair and replace leadwork that has cracked, slipped, corroded or simply worn out over the years. We will assess what is there, work out whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense, and put it right so the junction is watertight again.
Lead has stood the test of time for very good reasons. It can be worked into precise, complex shapes, it copes with the constant expansion and contraction a roof goes through, and it lasts far longer than most alternatives. For sealing the vulnerable joints of a roof, it remains hard to beat.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a guarantee, giving you confidence that the leadwork has been formed and fitted to a proper standard and will keep your roof watertight for many years to come.
