Professional high quality lead work is as an important part of today’s roofing as it was hundreds of years ago - It also provides an attractive weather resistant finish.
Due to its flexible and durable nature, it can be moulded into shapes other materials can't, leaving a fantastic ornate look. This is why it is so prevalent on historic buildings, especially around Swindon, Bristol, Bath, Oxford and Reading. It is also the ideal material to use for creating waterproof gulley’s in slate roofing. In addition to this, when fitted by Professional Roofers such as APS, Lead Roofing has great longevity, with it normally lasting a minimum of 60 years and sometimes up to 100 years! There are few different types of Lead used for Roofing and APS are experienced with all. Sand Cast Lead Roofing - Originally used by the Romans, it is ideal for use on older buildings, such as churches and buildings of historic/Heritage interest. Milled lead roofing - Although a mass produced alternative, is used for precision and accuracy in homes and commercial buildings alike. Machine Cast Lead Roofing - Offers a very similar finish to milled, but does out to be cheaper and more cost effective. As we have over 30 years’ experience in the roofing sector, we are in an ideal position to help you select the type that is suitable for your project. We are more than happy to answer any questions and provide guidance and advice. In addition to this APS also offers:
