Lead Repairs
Lead is the gold standard for weatherproofing vulnerable areas of your roof — around chimneys, at abutments, in valleys and on flat sections. Watertight Roofing & Driveways provides expert lead repair and installation services across Belfast, North Down and Co. Antrim.
Lead work is one of the most specialist areas of roofing, and getting it right is essential. Poorly installed or ageing lead flashings are one of the most common causes of persistent roof leaks — water can track along the tiniest gap and appear far from its point of entry. At Watertight Roofing & Driveways, our roofers are trained in traditional lead working techniques, enabling us to fabricate and fit lead flashings, valleys, aprons and cover flashings to the highest standards. We work across Belfast and the wider North Down and Co. Antrim area.
