Lead Work

Roofing lead welding involves joining lead sheets or sections by heating and fusing the material at their edges using a welding torch. This process is essential in roofing for creating durable, watertight seals, particularly in areas prone to water penetration, such as valleys, gutters, and flashings.

Benefits of Lead Welding in Roofing:

Exceptional Durability

Welded lead joints can withstand extreme weather conditions, from heavy rain and snow to high temperatures. They are resistant to cracking, tearing, and corrosion, making them ideal for long-lasting roofs.

Watertight Seals

The continuous joint created by welding ensures there are no gaps or weaknesses for water to penetrate. This is particularly important in vulnerable areas like valleys, gutters, and chimney flashings.

Aesthetic Finish

Lead welding delivers a smooth, seamless finish that enhances the overall appearance of a roof. This is especially beneficial for heritage or high-end properties where attention to detail is paramount.

Environmental Sustainability

Lead is a recyclable material, and welded seams reduce the need for additional sealing materials, minimizing waste and contributing to sustainability.
