Expert Leadwork Repairs for Gerrards Cross Homes
High class roofing provides professional leadwork services across Gerrards Cross to ensure your property remains completely watertight. Based in Datchet and serving the local community within a 15-mile radius, Jimmy Frankham and his team specialise in identifying and resolving critical failure points on roofs. Whether you are dealing with persistent leaks or storm damage, we bring technical expertise to every job, protecting your roof timbers and internal ceilings from the long-term impact of water ingress.
Why Your Roof Flashings and Valleys Require Specialist Attention
Lead is a cornerstone of traditional British roofing, but it is also a common source of leaks when it fails. Over time, factors like thermal expansion, wind uplift, and the natural degradation of mortar can cause chimney flashings and lead valleys to pull away or crack. In Gerrards Cross, where diverse building styles include both older character homes and modern extensions, we see everything from perished step flashings to split box gutters. We address these issues by correctly dressing high-quality Code 4 and Code 5 milled lead, ensuring the material can flex with your building while maintaining a weather-tight seal.

Our Approach to Lead Valley and Chimney Repairs
Repairing leadwork is a precise craft that relies on the correct application and expansion allowance. Rather than opting for temporary sealants that eventually fail, we focus on permanent remedial work. This includes stripping back failing lead, inspecting the underlying substrate, and installing new lead sections that comply with current building standards. Whether we are re-dressing existing lead or conducting a full lead valley replacement, our goal is to restore the integrity of your roofline so it can withstand the heavy rainfall and high winds common to the Thames Valley border.

If you notice damp patches appearing on your internal walls or ceilings near chimney breasts, it is often a sign that your chimney leadwork has failed. Other warning signs include visible gaps between the brickwork and the flashing, or loose lead sheets that rattle during strong winds. If water is entering your home near an electrical point or if the leak has become active during rainfall, it should be treated as an emergency. We offer 24/7 support to secure your roof and prevent further structural damage before we proceed with permanent repairs.
