What a relief to have used Traditional Leadwork Ltd. A highly competent and professional company. Not only was their leadwork spot on but the render subcontractor that they use also did an outstanding job. One complements the other.

Lead Flat roof and hanging tile lead overhang

After a year of searching for a roofer to repair our GRP flat roof that was leaking with a new lead roof, without success we found Martin and Paul from traditional leadwork and what a godsend. Paul and Martin are skilled craftsman, they provided a competitive quote and completed the work impeccably on time (they were amazingly available within a week to start the work). They fitted a new, beautiful lead flat roof. We were so impressed we contracted them to do some additional lead work on a vertical tiled wall overhang, which again was competitive and completed impeccably within a week. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul and Martin to anyone, friends, neighbours for any roofing and in particular lead work. Thankyou Paul and Martin - we are very grateful to you.

Traditional Leadwork Ltd installed a new lead box valley gutter, new lead parapet wall capping, liquid rubber coating to existing asphalt box valley gutter and new lead flashings to chimneys. Paul and Martin are highly knowledgable and true craftsmen. Honest and reliable. Always quick to respond to my messages and questions, they could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The work was carried out on time and within budget. Their expertise and craftsmanship is exceptional. Having previously endured numerous rogue tradesmen and botched repairs, I will be forever grateful to them. I am now safe in the knowledge that my beautiful new lead work and repairs, will last for decades to come. I Highly recommend them for their quality of work and excellent customer service.

Replacement lead soakers, trays and flashings to chimney were all undertaken on the date agreed and in line with the agreed price. Paul was excellent to deal with and the quality of the work was excellent with photos of everything that was done. Paul came recommended by our long trusted decorator when we saw that work was required and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Builder dropped the ball on arranging subcontractors to dress 3 dormers fully in lead. Paul & Martin made themselves readily available, competitively priced, adapted to the challenges the builders left them and the terrible weather, and produced three stunning lead dressed dormers of immaculate leadwork. Highly recommend if you want highest quality leadwork on your house.

We chose Traditional Leadwork Ltd because they were listed as a Which Trusted Trader. The work involved replacing a small felt roof that is part of a loft conversion and putting a lead cap over the top of a parapet wall. The job was done by Martin and Paul. They did exactly what they said they would and as far as we can see they did an excellent job. We have access to the roof and the completed work looks very good, even better than the photos of it! It's a pity it's on the roof where no-one can see it! These roofers arrived when they said they would, the work took as long as they said it would take and they were very helpful and pleasant throughout the job. We are delighted with the work.

I can't rate this company highly enough. Martin and Paul are the most considerate and conscientious tradespeople you'd ever want to work with. They were able to diagnose my roof problem, were always on hand to support and have delivered a high quality finish and solved all my issues. They connected with several other tradespeople to finish the job. Top quality and of highly recommend them for your lead works

We have used this company twice now and have been amazed by the quality , efficiency and professionalism of both Paul and Martin. Nothing too much trouble. Never had such detailed and beautiful lead work carried out and could not recommend them highly enough. Arrived promptly, worked hard and tidy. Great value for the money. Highly recommend. We have more work coming up in the summer and wouldn’t use anyone else!
