Lead Work

Lead work requires specialist skills and knowledge that have been developed over centuries. At RidgeCo Roofing, we have master craftsmen who are highly experienced in all aspects of lead roofing work, from small flashing repairs to complete lead roof installations. Lead remains one of the most durable and versatile roofing materials, particularly suitable for the Scottish climate, and when properly installed can last for over 100 years.

Our lead work services cover all applications including valley gutters, dormer cheeks, flat roofs, parapet gutters, and bay roofs. We're particularly experienced in creating and installing lead flashings around chimneys, dormers, and other roof features where weatherproofing is critical. All our lead work is carried out in accordance with the Lead Sheet Association's guidelines, ensuring proper specification, fixing, and detailing for long-term performance.

We also undertake specialist lead work on historic and listed buildings where maintaining traditional construction methods is essential. Our craftsmen understand the importance of code weights, patination oils, and appropriate fixing techniques for heritage properties. Whether you need repairs to existing lead work, replacement of damaged or stolen lead, or new lead installations, RidgeCo Roofing delivers craftsmanship of the highest quality.
