Lead Working

“It will last longer and age more beautifully than any of its substitutes”

 
Lead is one of the older and most durable building materials and provides roofers with great flexibility for installing roof flashings, dormer and other roofing features.

Swift Roofing carry out a wide range of works using sheet lead, varying from simple roof flashings at valleys, abutments and roof penetrations to more complex work on dormers and roofing features. This type of work is carried out by both our roof tilers who are trained in using the correct installation techniques to very high standards, as well as our specialist lead installers. As a single contractor, our ability to carry out the associated leadwork involved in the overall roof construction allows our clients to eliminate the difficulty and hassle in programming different trades. This ensures consistency and efficiency throughout the entire project from start to finish.

Lead is the most recycled and recovered building material in use today. It will last longer and age more beautifully than any of its synthetically produced substitutes. Its resistance to corrosion by the atmosphere means that Lead Sheet will outlast any alternative building materials making it best value, both in monetary and environmental terms.

So while Lead may initially appear marginally more expensive than other materials; in terms of longevity and ecology, it still offers the best value without forgetting its excellent aesthetic appeal.
