Home / / Leadwork Roofing

Leadwork plays a big part in keeping a roof watertight, especially around chimneys, valleys, roof joints and awkward details. At Enterprise Roofing Limited, we carry out leadwork roofing in Nantwich and across Cheshire, including lead flashing repairs, replacement leadwork and waterproof roof detailing.

We install and repair lead flashings around chimneys, walls, roof edges and roof junctions to help stop water getting into the property.

Chimneys and valleys are common leak points. We repair and replace worn leadwork in these areas so rainwater can run away properly.

Some roofs need careful lead detailing where different sections meet. We make sure these areas are properly formed, sealed and weather-resistant.

Old lead can split, lift or crack over time. We can remove damaged sections and replace them with suitable new leadwork.
Leadwork is often only noticed when something goes wrong. A small split around a chimney, poorly fitted flashing or failing valley can quickly lead to damp patches, ceiling stains and hidden roof damage.
Our roof lead repairs include chimney leadwork, lead flashing repair, valley work, abutment flashings, roof joint detailing and replacement of worn or damaged lead. We’ll inspect the roof properly and explain whether a repair is enough or whether a section of lead needs replacing.
This service is suitable for homeowners, landlords, commercial properties, older homes and anyone dealing with leaks around detailed roof areas. Around Nantwich and Cheshire, we work on a wide mix of roofs, from older slate properties to tiled homes, extensions and rural buildings.

You may have a leak near a chimney, damp around an internal wall, cracked lead, lifted flashing or staining after heavy rain.

We’ll check the lead, surrounding roof area, tiles, slates, brickwork and any obvious water entry points.

We’ll advise whether the existing lead can be repaired or whether replacement is the better option.

Once agreed, we’ll carry out the leadwork carefully, making sure the area is properly weatherproofed and left tidy.
We provide leadwork roofing in Nantwich and across Cheshire, including Crewe, Sandbach, Middlewich, Winsford, Northwich, Alsager, Congleton, Knutsford, Chester, Macclesfield and nearby villages. We also work across rural properties where exposed roof details often take more weather.

Good leadwork needs care and experience. It has to be shaped, dressed and fitted correctly so it can expand, contract and shed water without failing too soon.
At Enterprise Roofing Limited, we take a practical approach to every job. We check the surrounding roof coverings, brickwork, mortar, tiles, slates and drainage path so the leadwork isn’t treated in isolation. If another issue is causing the leak, we’ll tell you.
We use high quality materials, all work is guaranteed, and we offer aftercare once the job is complete. Customers choose us because we explain the problem clearly, carry out the work neatly and focus on long-term protection rather than temporary patching.
Common signs include damp patches, water staining, cracked lead, lifted flashing, leaks around chimneys and water entering near roof joints.
