Wargrave, Berkshire
Leadwork in Wargrave
Leadwork is a central part of the roofing requirement in Wargrave — the period properties in the conservation area have lead-lined valley gutters, chimney step flashings, dormer cheeks, and parapet cappings that are integral to their weathertightness. Legacy Roofing carries out all lead roofing work in Wargrave to correct Code specifications.
Lead valley gutters on Wargrave's Victorian and Georgian detached properties are often substantial — wide, multi-bay installations in Code 5 or Code 6 lead that, if they have been repaired with sealant rather than properly maintained, need a full strip and relining to restore their function. We carry this out as a specialist lead installation.

Leadwork in Wargrave — 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.
