Leadwork in Richmond
Leadwork is central to Richmond's historic roofscapes — Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, and Edwardian detached houses all have chimney flashings, valley gutters, parapet cappings, and dormer details in lead that need skilled maintenance. Legacy Roofing carries out all leadwork in Richmond to correct Code specifications.
The Georgian townhouses on Richmond Hill and the riverside streets have parapet gutters and decorative lead detailing that are integral to the character of these significant buildings. We carry out lead assessment and repair on these elements with the care their architectural importance deserves.

Leadwork in Richmond — FAQs
Correctly specified and installed lead flashings can last 60 years or more. Failures typically occur within much shorter periods when the wrong Code weight is used or details are not properly dressed.
Minor cracks and splits can sometimes be repaired, but failed step flashings or split valley gutters usually need replacing. We will assess and advise on the best approach.
This is usually a sign that the lead was tuck-pointed into the mortar joint rather than fixed into a proper reglet, or that the mortar has deteriorated around the fixing. We re-dress and re-point correctly as part of our chimney flashing repairs.
