At Round Roofing, we are proud to offer expert leadwork roofing services in Kidderminster and surrounding areas. Lead has long been recognised as one of the most reliable and durable roofing materials in the world. For centuries, it has been used on churches, heritage properties, and homes of all kinds because of its ability to withstand the harshest of weather conditions while still providing an attractive, long-lasting finish.
Whether you need a new lead roof installation, repairs to your existing flashing, or specialist work on chimneys and valleys, our skilled roofers deliver solutions tailored to your property. With a focus on traditional craftsmanship combined with modern standards, we provide leadwork that not only protects your roof but also enhances its appearance for decades to come.
Professionally installed lead flashing and valleys provide watertight protection in the most vulnerable parts of your roof, preventing leaks where tiles or slates meet.
Damaged chimney leadwork is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. We repair or replace chimney flashings to stop water ingress and protect your home.
With a lifespan of over 100 years, leadwork offers one of the most durable and cost-effective roofing solutions available today to keep your home sealed and safe.
Leadwork refers to the shaping, fitting, and installation of lead sheets in specific areas of a roof where water needs to be controlled or redirected. These areas include valleys, flashings around chimneys, dormer windows, and roof joints that are prone to leaks. Lead is one of the most malleable and weatherproof materials available, making it ideal for these tricky areas that require precision and durability.
Its longevity is unmatched, properly fitted lead can last over a century without replacement, making it a cost-effective choice in the long term. Not only does it provide watertight protection, but it also complements the look of both historic buildings and modern homes, giving your property a touch of traditional craftsmanship with lasting performance.
We combine traditional leadworking craftsmanship with the highest modern safety and installation standards.
From listed buildings to new-build homes, we adapt our leadwork techniques to suit your property needs and style.
All leadwork projects are carried out by skilled roofers and backed by our workmanship guarantee for peace of mind.
Our leadwork process begins with a thorough roof inspection to identify areas where lead is required or existing installations are failing. We then carefully select the correct code of lead sheet to suit the job, ensuring it has the right thickness and durability for its purpose.
Our experienced roofers then shape and install the lead using tried-and-tested methods, creating neat joints and overlaps to provide total water resistance. Once fitted, we finish and secure the leadwork with attention to detail, ensuring expansion and contraction are accounted for to prevent future cracking. Finally, we carry out a full quality check, leaving you with strong, attractive, and weatherproof roofing that is guaranteed to stand the test of time.
Properly installed leadwork keeps rainwater out of vulnerable roof areas, preventing costly structural damage to timbers, ceilings, and walls.
Every property is different, and we provide bespoke lead shaping and installation to fit even the trickiest rooflines, dormers, or heritage features.
Alongside installation and repair, we offer leadwork inspections to spot early signs of wear, helping homeowners avoid bigger problems later.
Lead is one of the most durable roofing materials available, with a properly installed system lasting well over 100 years. Its natural resistance to water, heat, and frost makes it incredibly reliable for the UK climate. Unlike modern alternatives that may require replacement within a few decades, lead continues to perform with minimal upkeep. This longevity makes it a cost-effective solution, especially for areas like flashings and valleys that protect vulnerable joints in your roof.

Instead of a temporary fix, we provide long-lasting repairs that restore the watertight seal, protecting your home in Kidderminster and nearby areas from water damage.
