Services
Specialist leadwork across Dorset
Lead is the trade the business is named after. Fitted correctly, with the right code of lead and proper allowance for movement, it will outlast everything else on the roof. Fitted badly, it splits within a few winters. We do it properly.

Questions
Things we are often asked
It depends on the detail. Code 4 and 5 cover most flashings and valleys, with heavier codes where the job calls for it. We will tell you what is being used and why.
Almost always because a sheet was run too long with nowhere to expand, or too thin a code was used. Lead moves a great deal with temperature. Getting the lengths, laps and fixings right is most of the skill.
Yes. A lot of our work is on older stone and slate properties around Abbotsbury, Dorchester and the surrounding villages.
