Leadwork explained
Leadwork starts with the junction that needs to shed rain, not simply the strip of metal visible from the ground. Adam checks how flashing meets the wall, how soakers sit with the tiles or slate, and what surrounds a roof penetration. The job record includes a new lead slate formed around an existing flue pipe.
Its photographs show the detail before and after fitting, with surrounding roof work still incomplete. That distinction keeps the example accurate. For your roof, the written quote identifies the failed lead component and the covering that needs lifting to make the proposed repair accessible.
A useful leadwork specification names the detail: stepped flashing beside a chimney, soakers within slate or tile courses, or a lead slate around a flue. Each joins different surfaces and needs the surrounding covering considered with it.
Adam shows where your proposed work begins and ends on the inspection photographs. Your own quote needs its own material specification. You can then compare the work being offered without assuming that every contractor's description of new flashing covers the same components.
If your roof junction has been patched repeatedly, Adam traces the connection that still lets rain through. A surface patch and replacement of a formed lead detail are different scopes. Adam's inspection photographs let you discuss the lead, adjoining tiles and wall junction together before deciding.
Stormshield has a recorded lead slate installation around a flue, with two close-ups showing the change to that component. It is a practical example rather than a claim about an entire completed roof. Your written explanation follows the same approach: identify the part, show the condition and describe the proposed leadwork in relation to the roof around it.

Customer reviews
Cannot give anything other than a 10/10. Callback for job was quick, came out within an hr of calling. Did not try and over sell their services. Very informative about options available and not pushy at all.
Adam was great to communicate with, turned up when he said he would to quote. A storm delayed the start of work, but we were kept informed. Roof cleaned, gutters facia and soffits replaced, solar panels pigeon proofed.
Excellent, job was done well without too much distraction as I work from home, job came in under quote - 11/10
Your roofing questions answered
What is roof leadwork?
It includes lead flashing and soakers at roof junctions and formed lead details around penetrations such as the recorded flue lead slate. Adam checks how these pieces meet your tiles, slate or masonry, then photographs the junction needing repair.
Can lead flashing be repaired instead of replaced?
Adam checks the lead and its junctions before specifying a repair or replacement. The written quote explains the proposed scope.
What are lead soakers?
Soakers are individual lead pieces used with tile or slate courses at a junction. They are considered with the cover flashing above them.
Can you fit lead around a flue pipe?
A new lead slate around an existing flue pipe is evidenced in Stormshield's job record. The two close-ups show that component before and after fitting, and Adam explains the lead detail and surrounding covering needed for your own roof penetration.
How much does lead flashing replacement cost?
The price depends on the inspected junction and the covering that needs lifting. Adam supplies a free written estimate with photographs.
What guarantee comes with the work?
A 10-year workmanship guarantee on all work. Stormshield is fully insured, and you receive daily progress updates with photos and videos.
