Roofing Leadwork in Newhaven, Eastbourne & Nearby East Sussex Locales | DJM Roofing Ltd

Our NVQ qualified roofers are leadwork specialists, helping ensure pitched and flat roofing systems in and around our principal service areas of Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Newhaven stay watertight and free from faults, all year-round. Roofing leadwork is the use of lead sheet to create durable, weather-proof seals around vulnerable areas on a roof, for example around a chimney or where two materials meet. Its use in valley gutters, and in certain scenarios as a standalone covering, make it a versatile tool that all roofers should have in their proverbial belts.

While roofing leadwork should last for many, many years by design, there are certainly situations where it can be compromised; natural degradation over extended periods, damage that occurs due to activity occurring on the roof, and improper installation are all relevant factors here. If you suspect your roofing leadwork is no longer up to scratch, or we identify this is the case during the course of diagnostics and roof repairs on your property, you can rest assured DJM Roofing Ltd can quickly intervene to restore it to perfect functionality. What’s more, our capabilities in this area ensure your roofing leadwork doesn’t compromise your Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate or Newhaven property’s aesthetic appeal. It’ll be neat and never recklessly applied to excess.

Uses for Roofing Leadwork

Flashing – Lead flashing is used to waterproof joints and transitions on roofs, such as where the roof meets a chimney, wall, or dormer.
Valley Linings – It is also often used to line valleys, which are the internal angles formed by intersecting roof slopes, providing superior water drainage and protection against leaks.
Apron Flashing – This type of flashing is installed at the base of chimneys, walls, or dormers to direct water away from vulnerable areas and prevent moisture penetration.
Roof Abutments – Roofing leadwork is also employed to seal gaps and joints between the roof and vertical structures like walls or parapets, ensuring a watertight seal.
Roof Domes & Skylights – Lead is employed to create weatherproof seals around roof domes and skylights, preventing water infiltration into the interior spaces below.
Gutter Lining – Lead can be used to line gutters, providing durability and preventing leaks at gutter joints and connections.

All roofing leadwork we use on projects around Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate or Newhaven meets British standard isBS EN 12588, the relevant guideline governing the quality of materials used in these applications.
