Lead work is a common element used on the roofs in old and new buildings. Lead is a heavy metal that is soft and malleable and can take any shape when heated. However, when they harden or are converted into sheets, they can easily last for about 80-90 years and even more. It also does not rust easily and is non-combustible, making it perfect for use in the roof. Because of its reliable properties and its ability to handle different weather conditions, particularly for Basingstoke, it is used for different roofing purposes in many different ways.
Our roofers at Beacon Basingstoke Roofing are licensed and trained to use lead in different ways, including welding, lead flashings, valleys, box gutters and sheeting. Even though lead has been used for years, new techniques are being developed to use lead safely and effectively for different roofing purposes. Our lead work crew keep themselves up-to-date with the latest techniques to provide you with the most efficient services. We have been carrying our lead work on roofs, chimneys, and even decoration and much more for our residential and commercial clients in Basingstoke.
