Although a lot of us may hear the term ‘lead poisoning’, a lot of people may not understand the reasons behind it and how one can actually be poisoned by lead. Our lead roofing contractors take precautions and are suited with the correct equipment to carry out each task appointed.

Whilst lead poisoning can be a cause for concern, it is highly unlikely to come across it in most circumstances, and practically impossible to come into contact with it whilst living under a lead roof.

Lead has shown time after time that it is one of the most reliable and durable resources making it perfect for roofing purposes. It is one of the oldest roofing materials used by lead roof contractors and is still commonly used today.

The general nature of lead as a material already presents a durable and long-lasting component to any property. Our lead roofing contractors ensure further durability by sourcing the very best materials on the market, expertly installing the lead roofing, utilising their expertise and techniques to form the lead into the correct shapes and much more.

Each of our Croydon lead roofing contractors is fully qualified in all relevant areas and therefore all have CSCS cards for health and safety requirements. They also have the industry recognised lead roofing and all necessary roofing qualifications.

As a temporary solution to fixing a crack in the roof, you could use materials such as felt or flashing to protect the roof while you arrange a more sustainable repair with one of our lead roofing Croydon service. We may be able to solder the cracks shut or weld a lead patch onto the crack in the roof.

A common misconception is that different coloured roofing materials last longer than others- this is not true. While black roofs may look like they last longer, the colour of your lead roofing Croydon does not determine whether it’s more sustainable.

It is rare, but not unheard of for your lead roofing Croydon to be stolen. You may want to protect your lead roof Croydon by removing access to your roof, prevent unwanted vehicle access, apply anti-climb paint to your walls, install CCTV and installing lighting to make it look like people are in.

The insurance for the homeowner or landlord may cover a roof leak if it hasn’t been damaged resulting from a lack of maintenance or wear and tear. It is still possible for your homeowner’s policy to help cover the cost of the repair, it’s worth checking with your insurance to make sure that you are making the most out of your money when replacing your lead roofing Croydon.

If you have a cold house, it’s probably better to get a darker roof as they absorb heat from the sun and transfer it into the rooms below. If you are looking for a cooler house, it’s probably best to have a lighter-coloured roof in order for the sun rays to reflect away from the house. Typically, this is the reason why houses in Spain tend to have lighter roofs.

To ensure the high quality is maintained throughout our entire lead roofing Croydon service we will need to come inside to perform a complete roof inspection. Leaving this critical process out, it is possible that critical warning signs of water leaks and damage will be missed.

This depends on the weather, the size of the roof and how many lead roof contractors are working on it. It can take just a day to repair your lead roofing Croydon, all depending on the conditions.

Flashing is pieces of impervious material that prevents water from entering the building.

Although replacing a lead roofing Croydon can get messy, we will do our best to make sure that your garden is kept as tidy as possible during the installation.
