Lead Work Expertise Like No Other Company In The North East
Lead has been widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial structures for over 150 years and continues to be a popular building element. It is not only long-lasting, but also highly corrosion-resistant, and has the ability to shrink and expand in response to temperature changes. It is measured in weight as a multipurpose building material, ranging from Code 3, which is similar to thin paper, to Code 8, which is comparable to thick plywood.
As you can see, we are not only professionals in lead works, but we are also dedicated about that as well. We will also be able to show the right thickness of lead necessary on your property when we arrive, in accordance with current construction requirements. We’ve been doing it for over 40 years, bringing lead work technical expertise and competence to houses around York and beyond.

Prior to the introduction of single ply membranes, lead work was a natural option for the tops of all bay windows — and it still is. Because of its greater thickness and remarkable life expectancy of between 80 and 100 years, code 6 lead work is frequently necessary here. Again, mop handles and welding methods are frequently utilized to connect these considerably bigger pieces of lead.
