ROOF LEAD REPAIR & REPLACEMENT IN Lightwater GU18
As with most materials, if not maintained correctly lead can fail over time, especially in older houses. Lead cracks can occur when the lead expands and contracts in correlation to the temperature, it is quite normal and lead can withstand a lot these changes but over time the constant expanding and contracting of the lead can cause cracks and leaks.
We often find leaks on Bay windows that have been topped with Lead from the original build. The first sign of cracked leadwork on Bay windows or roofs is water dripping on the sill a brown stain on the ceiling or water running down the internal window.
