Professional leadwork repairs for Blackwater homes
High class roofing provides specialist leadwork services to ensure your property remains completely watertight. Based in Datchet and serving Blackwater and the surrounding 15-mile radius, we understand the critical role that lead flashing plays in protecting your building. Jimmy Frankham and his team address common failure points such as perished chimney flashings, cracked lead valleys, and leaking box gutters that often plague local roofs. Whether your roof has suffered from recent storm damage or the inevitable wear of time, our precise leadwork interventions prevent water ingress from damaging your roof timbers and interior ceilings.
Expert chimney leadwork and flashing maintenance
The chimney stack is often the first area to show signs of water ingress due to failing mortar and degrading leadwork. In Blackwater, where weather exposure can be significant, we frequently see step flashings that have pulled away from brickwork or soakers that have split over time. Our team uses industry-standard Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead, expertly dressed to ensure a secure, long-lasting fit. By re-dressing loose lead or installing new step flashings, we maintain the integrity of your chimney junction, preventing moisture from tracking behind the lead and into your loft space.

Lead valley replacement and gutter repair
Valleys and box gutters are high-risk areas for debris accumulation and subsequent water pooling. When lead valleys begin to crack or thin due to thermal movement, simple patching is rarely a permanent solution. We specialise in full lead valley replacement, ensuring the new material is correctly sized and installed to accommodate high-intensity rainfall in accordance with Building Regulations Part H. We ensure every piece of lead is dressed correctly to allow for natural expansion and contraction, which is vital for preventing the premature failure of these essential drainage channels.

01256 639416Why choose professional lead dressing over alternatives?
Lead remains the superior choice for roofing details due to its exceptional durability and flexibility. Unlike synthetic alternatives, high-quality lead, when dressed by an experienced tradesman, moulds perfectly to the contours of your roof tiles and masonry. This creates a seamless, weather-tight seal that can last for decades. Whether you reside in a period Victorian property requiring traditional detailing or a modern build with complex roof junctions, our expertise ensures that the lead is installed to current technical standards, providing a robust defence against the elements.
