Coburn Roofing carries out all types of leadwork across Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield. Lead is used wherever the roof meets a wall, chimney or valley, and when it’s fitted correctly it lasts for generations. We use the correct Code 4 and Code 5 lead and dress it properly for a permanent, watertight seal.
Lead is one of the oldest and best roofing materials there is - but only when it’s installed correctly. Over-long sheets, poor dressing and the wrong code of lead all lead to splits, lifting and leaks.
We carry out chimney flashings and soakers, valley linings, box and parapet gutters, bay-window roofs, dormer cheeks and hip and ridge details. Whether it’s a repair to a failed flashing or full leadwork on a re-roof, it’s done to the trade’s standards.
Call, WhatsApp or message us about your lead work. We’ll arrange a convenient time to come and take a look.
We inspect the roof, explain what needs doing in plain English and send you a clear, written quote - free and with no obligation.
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we get the job booked in and carried out properly, keeping you updated and protecting your property throughout.
We clear away all waste, leave the site spotless and check you’re completely happy with the finished job before we go.
Correctly dressed lead moulds to the roof, copes with expansion and lasts for decades - far longer than mortar fillets or sealant, which crack and fail within a few years.
Yes. Persistent leaks at a chimney or wall abutment are almost always down to failed or poorly fitted flashing. We strip it out and re-form it correctly in the right code of lead.
It depends on the condition. Small splits can sometimes be repaired, but if the lead is fatigued or was fitted wrong we’ll recommend replacing that section so it doesn’t keep failing.
