Correctly installed new code 4 or 5 milled lead on a Leicester property has an effective lifespan of 40–60+ years. Sealant or bituminous tape repairs on failed lead typically last 2–3 years before the same or an adjacent point fails again. Over a 10-year period, three sealant visits on one detail cost more in total than a single correct re-run — and the sealant layers prevent accurate assessment of the underlying lead condition between visits. We always tell you honestly when sealant repair is the appropriate short-term fix, but we don't recommend it as a permanent solution.
Code 4 milled lead for flashings, soakers and chimney details. Code 5 for flat sections, open valleys and bay roofs. Lead dressed by hand to correct form, fixed with lead clips at correct intervals for thermal movement, finished with patination oil. No stick-on flashing tape on structural lead details. Sealant-patched lead is replaced in full — repeated patching costs more over 10 years than a single correct re-run.
Valley re-run £400–£900. Chimney step flashings £250–£600. Bay window lead roof replacement £600–£1,400. Parapet gutter re-line £500–£1,200. All lead work carries a written workmanship guarantee. Free survey and written quote before any work starts.

Stoneygate's housing stock represents the most architecturally significant roofing work in our Leicester coverage area. The large detached and semi-detached properties on Knighton Road, London Road, Springfield Road and surrounding streets were built from the 1880s through to 1914 by Leicester's successful industrialists and merchants. Roof geometries are complex — multiple valleys, hipped sections, prominent stacks, occasional turrets and decorative ridge tiles. Lead detailing is extensive: open valleys, bay window lead flat roofs, complex chimney junction details with soakers and back gutters. Conservation area designation applies to significant parts of Stoneygate, meaning material matching is not optional but required. We specify correct materials and assess conservation area implications on every Stoneygate survey.
Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey — we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Stoneygate and all of Leicester LE2.
