Leadwork Roofing Specialists in Cambridge

Leadwork Roofing in Cambridge

Lead is one of the most dependable roofing materials available, offering outstanding durability, weather resistance and a natural ability to adapt to the British climate. When it is installed properly, leadwork can last more than half a century with very little maintenance. At Cambridge Metal Roofing, we specialise in traditional and modern lead roofing across Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area. With more than 35 years of hands on experience, we understand exactly how lead should be detailed, fixed and finished so that it continues to protect your property for decades.

Expert Leadwork for All Types of Properties

Our leadwork covers everything from valleys and flashings to flat roofs, dormers, bay windows and decorative architectural features. Each installation is approached with care, ensuring the correct allowance for movement, the right joint layout and a clean, professional finish. Many Cambridge homes rely on lead because it performs exceptionally well in our climate and complements both historic and contemporary architecture. We often find ourselves called to inspect or correct leadwork that has failed due to poor workmanship by non specialists, and we always take the time to assess the roof properly and explain the best repair or replacement options in clear, straightforward terms. Whether your project is small or complex, we ensure every detail is handled with precision.

Repairs, Refurbishment and Heritage Leadwork

While lead is incredibly long lasting, problems can arise when it is installed incorrectly. Cracks, splits, slipped sections and failed flashings are usually the result of poor detailing rather than the material itself. We carry out lasting repairs that follow proper techniques, preventing issues from returning and restoring the integrity of the roof. Cambridge is home to many heritage and listed properties, and we have extensive experience working on buildings where traditional craftsmanship and sensitivity to the original design are essential. Our work preserves the character of the property while improving its long term performance, ensuring the roof remains both functional and visually consistent with its surroundings.
