Our leadwork services
Chimney flashing
Stripping and re-dressing the lead where the chimney meets the roof — the most common leak point, done properly.
Valley leadwork
New and repaired lead valleys where two roof slopes meet, sized and laid to carry the water away cleanly.
Abutment & wall flashing
Lead flashing where a roof meets a wall, dormer or parapet — stepped and dressed into the brickwork.
Bay, porch & box gutters
Lead roofs and linings on bays, porches and box gutters, laid to last.
Signs your leadwork has failed
Stains near a chimney or valley
Damp appearing near a stack or where roof slopes meet usually means the lead has cracked or lifted.
Cracked or lifted lead
Lead that has split, torn or lifted at the edges is letting water track underneath.
Leaks at roof junctions
Any junction — wall, dormer, chimney — is where good leadwork earns its keep, and where poor work fails first.

What our customers say
Leadwork FAQs — Airdrie
Do you provide leadwork in Airdrie?
Yes — we cover Airdrie and the surrounding towns and villages. Call for a free, no-obligation quote and a clear fixed price.
Why is leadwork so important?
It waterproofs the roof’s weakest points — chimneys, valleys and wall junctions. Most roof leaks start where leadwork has failed.
How long does lead flashing last?
Properly dressed lead can last 50+ years — far longer than the cheap alternatives some fitters use.
Do you do leadwork on chimneys?
Yes — chimney flashing is one of our most common jobs, and precisely where our leadwork keeps water out for good.
Can you fix a leak at a valley?
Yes — we repair or renew lead valleys so water runs off cleanly instead of tracking into the roof.
