At Higham Roofing & Construction, we are expert lead roof installers, delivering durable and weatherproof solutions that stand the test of time. With lead being one of the most reliable roofing materials available, our highly skilled lead roofing contractors ensure precision and craftsmanship in every project, from intricate detailing to large-scale installations.
Lead is renowned for its exceptional longevity and versatility, with a lifespan exceeding 100 years when properly installed and maintained. Its superior weatherproofing capabilities make it a preferred material for roofs, gutters, and lead flashing services, bridging awkward junctions between walls and roofs to create a seamless, watertight finish.
Types of Lead Roofing Solutions
- Sand Cast Lead: Ideal for heritage properties and churches, this traditional form of lead is hand-cast for an authentic finish, making it perfect for historical renovations.
- Milled Lead: Precision-manufactured, milled lead provides consistency and is ideal for modern homes and commercial buildings.
- Machine Cast Lead: Offering a similar appearance to milled lead, machine-cast lead is often more cost-effective while maintaining excellent performance and durability.
Understanding Lead Weights & Codes
Lead sheets come in a variety of weights, identified by “codes” that define their thickness and suitability for different applications:
- Code 3 & 4: Ideal for flashing and small-scale weatherproofing.
- Code 5 & 6: Suitable for larger gutters and flat roofing elements.
- Code 7 & 8: Best for heavy-duty applications such as heritage roofing.
Our expert team will select the correct lead code to ensure your roofing system meets both aesthetic and structural requirements.
Our highly skilled lead workers are passionate about their craft, delivering impeccable results on every project. From installing complex jointing details for seamless coverage to ensuring precision in lead flashing services, we pride ourselves on excellence and attention to detail.
