Leadworks Repair – QSR Roofers UK
Lead roofing is known for its durability and weather resistance, but even the strongest materials can wear over time. Damage can occur due to age, improper installation, thermal movement, or external factors like storm damage. Prompt repair is key to maintaining the integrity of your roof and preventing costly leaks or structural issues.
At QSR Roofers, based in Wickford, Essex, we offer professional leadworks repair services across Essex and surrounding areas. Our team of skilled roofers has extensive experience in diagnosing and repairing all types of leadwork, from minor cracks to full section replacements.
Leadwork plays a vital role in protecting vulnerable parts of your roof—especially around chimneys, dormers, valleys, and wall junctions. When lead fails, water can quickly seep into your roof space, causing internal damp, wood rot, or ceiling stains. That’s why we always start with a thorough inspection to locate the source of the problem and recommend the most effective repair solution.
