Lead roofing comes in many different forms, but they all start in the form of a lead roll.

What makes lead so perfect for roofing is the fact that it is extremely malleable. With a low melting point, it is easy to bend and mould lead into any shape, which makes it the ideal material for covering awkward shapes.

Once the lead has been moulded and cut into shape, it is stuck to the roof, often with an industrial sealant.

There’s no wonder lead has been used on roofs for hundreds of years. It’s tough, long-lasting, and versatile, and this makes it one of our favourite materials to work with.

Fixing guttering seems like a simple task, and most of the more common issues, such as blockages and cracks, can be fixed quickly.

The issue in doing this without professional help is that guttering is always at roof level, and this can be very hard to reach to perform a safe fix.

By seeking the help of professionals such as the team at Michael English Roofing, you are not just ensuring a thorough job is done, but you can also rest safe in the knowledge that every necessary safety precaution is being underheld when getting your guttering repaired.
