Lead Roofing & Leadwork in Portslade
Portslade customers looking for lead roofing & leadwork turn to Sutton Roofing Specialists. Lead is still the standard for the details a roof leaks through most — valleys where two roof slopes meet, flashing around chimneys and abutments, dormer cheeks, and box gutters hidden behind parapets. Sutton Roofing Specialists carries out leadwork using traditional methods, dressing lead correctly to falls and joints so it moves with the building rather than cracking, and repairing or replacing leadwork that’s split, lifted or corroded on both period and modern roofs. Portslade splits between the older Victorian terraces of Portslade Village and the 20th-century housing nearer Portslade-by-Sea, so roof coverings range from period slate and cast iron guttering to newer concrete tile and uPVC. Being this close to the coast, guttering and flashing here still take more salt exposure than roofs further inland.

Lead Roofing & Leadwork in Portslade — FAQ
Lead expands and contracts with temperature, and if it wasn’t dressed with enough movement allowance originally, or the joints weren’t lapped correctly, it can crack. We repair or replace it using proper leadwork technique so it lasts.
Both — lead remains the standard material for valleys, flashings and abutments on modern extensions as well as period roofs, because nothing else dresses as neatly around awkward roof junctions.
