Local leadwork and roof repair specialists based in Datchet, providing expert chimney flashings, valley gutter renewals, and precision weatherproofing across Buckinghamshire.
Professional leadwork repairs for Amersham properties
High class roofing provides professional leadwork repairs to keep your home in Amersham completely watertight. Based in Datchet and serving the surrounding 15-mile radius, owner Jimmy Frankham and his team specialise in maintaining the critical junctions where your roof meets walls, chimneys, and other surfaces. Whether your home features period Victorian architecture or a more modern design, the condition of your leadwork is the primary barrier against persistent water ingress.
Identifying failed chimney flashings and valley gutters
Leadwork is designed to expand and contract with the changing temperatures of the Buckinghamshire climate, but over time, it can suffer from cracking, tearing, or simply pulling away from the masonry. We frequently assist Amersham homeowners who notice damp patches appearing near their chimney breasts or inside ceiling corners. These issues are often caused by perished step flashings or lead box valleys that have reached the end of their service life. Ignoring these small cracks allows moisture to seep into your roof timbers, which leads to rot and expensive structural damage if left untreated.

Our technical approach to lead dressing and replacement
We take a traditional, detail-oriented approach to every project, using high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead. Correct installation is essential; we ensure that all lead is properly dressed to allow for natural thermal movement while maintaining a permanent seal against the elements. Our team handles everything from local roof flashing repair and re-pointing of chimney stacks to complete lead valley replacement. By following established building practices, we ensure that our leadwork remains durable, weather-resistant, and visually consistent with your property type.

01256 639416Does my leadwork need a minor repair or full replacement?
Many customers ask whether they need a full replacement or a targeted repair. Often, we can extend the life of your existing installation through careful re-dressing and the application of new sealants if the lead remains in good condition. However, if the lead has become brittle, thin, or has split due to age, we recommend a full replacement to prevent recurring leaks. We provide honest, transparent site surveys to assess the integrity of your current system and only suggest the work that is genuinely required to keep your roof dry and secure.
