About Us
Master Leadwork Specialists Across London and the UK
Lead Roofing was established to bring a higher standard of technical precision and craftsmanship to the roofing sector. Founded by experienced tradespeople who trained extensively in hard metals, our team brings over 30 years of combined hands-on experience to every project we undertake. From Grade II listed heritage buildings in central London to complex commercial developments and private residential roofs, our focus remains singular: installing leadwork that endures. We hold NVQ Level 2 qualifications in fully supported lead and hard metal, and every installation strictly conforms to BS6915 standards using BS EN 12588 materials.
Quality Workmanship
When we started Lead Roofing, the goal was simple: do the job properly according to the code, every single time. There are no shortcuts in leadwork. If code 7 is specified, that is what goes on the roof, fitted with proper expansion joints and secure fixings. We take pride in our LSTA Level 2 NVQ qualifications and our track record on listed buildings because clients trust us with roofs that demand genuine expertise. When you call us, you are speaking directly to tradespeople who know how roofs

Our Journey in Specialist Roofing
Our story began on roofs across London and the surrounding counties, mastering the intricate art of bossing, welding, and installing code-rated lead. As demand grew for reliable, certified leadwork specialists who understood traditional architecture, we formalized our operations to serve larger building contractors, commercial developers, and private homeowners alike. Over the years, our portfolio has expanded to include landmark projects such as Snaresbrook Crown Court, Woolwich Clockhouse Community Centre, St Marys Church Spire, and complex box gutters at Lincolns Inn Fields. Despite working on large-scale heritage sites alongside major main contractors like Sir Robert McAlpine, we maintain the same meticulous attention to detail on every single residential chimney re-leading or flat roof. Today, we continue to travel across London, Kent, Surrey, and further afield for the right projects. Our reputation is built on solid technical competence, transparent communication, and leaving buildings completely watertight for decades to come.
