Lead theft costs East London homeowners millions each year. High-rise apartment buildings face extreme wind loading that displaces capping and damages membrane roofing — specialist rope-access teams are often required. Converted warehouses have complex waterproofing challenges. Thames-side properties experien In Canary Wharf, 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.

“Chimney stack was leaning on our Victorian terrace. They scaffolded, took it down to roofline, rebuilt with matching London stock bricks, and re-flashed in Code 5 lead. Eighteen months later, bone dry.”
“Full fascia and soffit replacement on our 1960s detached. They stripped the old timber, treated the rafter feet, and fitted white UPVC throughout. Five years on and it still looks brand new.”
“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.”
