Lead theft costs East London homeowners millions each year. Georgian and early Victorian properties have hand-cut slate roofs requiring specialist sourcing for like-for-like repairs. Tower blocks from the 1960s have failing asphalt roof coverings. Bomb-damage repair patches from the 1950s are now failing afte In Bethnal Green, we offer three levels of protection: SmartWater forensic marking (registered with police, deters resale), anti-climb paint on access points, and full replacement with theft-proof alternatives like Ubiflex. For churches, schools, and high-risk properties, we recommend lead-look alternatives that eliminate the theft incentive entirely.
Where lead theft is a recurring problem or budget is constrained, modern alternatives perform well. Ubiflex is a non-lead flashing that looks like lead, flexes like lead, and lasts 25+ years. GRP valleys replace lead-lined valleys without theft risk. Zinc flashings offer excellent longevity at lower cost. We advise honestly on when real lead is essential and when alternatives make more sense.

“Warehouse conversion in Shoreditch with a nightmare butterfly roof leak. Two other roofers could not find it. These guys traced it to a failed internal valley in thirty minutes and had it fixed by the end of the day.”
“They fitted leaf guards to all our guttering after years of blockages from the oak tree next door. Not a single overflow since. Wish we had done it ten years ago.”
“Parapet wall on our Georgian terrace was letting water in behind the flashings. They rebuilt the coping, installed a proper DPC, and re-rendered. Bone dry through last winter.”
