Project Overview

The large residential, heritage property, required a complete roof replacement alongside intricate leadwork restoration. This project combined modern roofing techniques with traditional craftsmanship to maintain the building’s historical integrity while ensuring long-lasting protection.

Scope of Work

2. Leadwork Restoration:

• Removed the existing damaged roof.

• Incorporated proper underlayment and ventilation systems to enhance durability.

• Fabricated and installed custom lead flashings around roof windows and other junctions.
• Added lead cappings and valleys to key areas of the roof to ensure water-tightness and aesthetic alignment.
• Used traditional hand-dressing techniques to blend seamlessly with the slate roof design.

3. Window Leadwork:

• Replaced deteriorated lead around roof windows with precision-cut lead panels.
• Ensured proper sealing and water resistance to protect the structure below.
