If a roof needs repairing, replacing or restoring, choosing the right people for the job matters.
Damaged lead roof flashing can leave a building vulnerable to water ingress, while ageing lead roofs may need specialist attention to keep them performing as intended. Not every roofing problem calls for the same solution but if leadwork is involved, experience with the material and traditional installation techniques can make a real difference.
Based in Shoreham-by-Sea, Traditional Leadwork has specialist lead roofing services available throughout Horsham, Lewes, Worthing and the wider Sussex area. With more than 50 years of combined trade experience, we work on pitched roofs, flat roofs and architectural leadwork.
We also offer a broader range of roofing services, with coverage extending beyond Sussex into Hampshire and Surrey.
Whether you have noticed a problem with your existing leadwork or are planning a new roofing project, it helps to know that the company you have chosen understands the requirements of the job. Lead roof flashing is designed to protect vulnerable junctions on a roof, including areas around chimneys and other features. When flashing becomes damaged or deteriorates, water can find its way into places it shouldn't.
Our leadwork specialists undertake lead roofing repairs, including work on existing flashing, and also offer additional services such as new installations and replacements.
We also work on lead roofs, from individual sections of traditional pitched roofing to a complete lead installation service for suitable flat roofs. Every property and every project will have its own requirements. Before recommending an approach, we aim to understand the condition of the existing roof, the work required, and the results you want us to achieve.
Traditional Leadwork is owned by Martin Creighton and Paul Collins, both of whom completed their roofing apprenticeships before establishing their own business. Their experience includes work on prestigious buildings such as Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace and the Cabinet Office.
These projects demonstrate the importance of fine workmanship, particularly where traditional roofing materials or intricate architectural details are involved.
But you don't need to own a historic building to benefit from our experience.
Whether arranging repairs to a domestic roof, replacing deteriorated flashing or commissioning bespoke leadwork, you should be able to expect the same attention to detail.
Our work also covers design considerations, including layouts or ventilation requirements when these form part of the project.
Although traditional leadwork is our specialist field, we also undertake work associated with the wider roofing trade. If you are comparing roofing companies in Horsham, Lewes or Worthing, or in the surrounding areas, it is worth establishing whether the contractor has experience with the particular materials and roof construction involved.
A roofer working on pitched roofs may face different requirements from those associated with flat roofs or specialist architectural leadwork.
Whether the work involves an isolated repair or a more substantial installation, we can discuss your requirements and establish whether our services are suitable.
Having work carried out on your roof is an important decision. You need to understand what is being recommended, why the work is necessary and what it is likely to cost. We can offer clear and transparent estimates without charge, and give you the opportunity to discuss your project with us before deciding on how to proceed.
