When To Call Us
Signs You Need Lead Repairs or Replacement
If you see damp patches indoors or leaks near your chimney, worn lead flashing or valleys may be the cause. Replacing or welding the lead restores watertight protection.
White stains or surface corrosion on lead are signs of deterioration. This weakens the metal and reduces its ability to protect against water ingress.
Over time, lead can split due to temperature changes. Cracks or gaps in joints allow rainwater to penetrate, risking roof damage if left untreated.
If lead sheets or welds become loose, they may lift in strong winds or heavy rain. Proper re-welding and fixing ensures safety and long-term performance.

Following a recent damp survey which showed water ingress from the roof, we called upon Roof King a second time to do the repair work (re-rendering and fitting new coping stones). From start to finish, the team delivered an expert service on all fronts. We were particularly impressed that Cory went the extra mile and managed to get the scaffolding up and down in record timing.

Common Questions
FAQs About Lead Roofing & Welding
How long does lead work last?
Lead roofing, when properly installed and maintained, can last up to 100 years or more and in some cases, even 150 years, outlasting virtually every other material.
Is lead welding safe for my home?
Yes—when performed by skilled professionals using proper tools and safety gear, lead welding is completely safe. It creates a seamless, watertight seal without damaging your roof or walls.
Can lead flashing prevent leaks completely?
While well-installed lead flashing significantly reduces leaks, it must be combined with sound roofing structure—like secure tiles and proper drainage—to completely prevent water ingress.
Can I do lead welding myself at home?
Lead welding requires special skills, tools, and safety precautions (like working at height and handling hot materials). It’s strongly recommended to hire an experienced leadwork specialist, especially in Bristol’s variable weather.
How should I maintain lead roof components?
Simply keep them clean, check annually for cracks or corrosion, and re-seal any gaps promptly. Regular inspections help lead work remain watertight and durable for decades.
