Lead theft costs East London homeowners millions each year. The Becontree Estate’s nearly century-old roofs are East London’s biggest roofing challenge — tens of thousands of homes need re-roofing within the next decade. Original hand-made clay tiles have frost damage. Timber roof structures show widespread w In Dagenham, 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.”
“Poplar flat — roof terrace membrane was pooling and leaking into the flat below. They re-laid the membrane with correct falls, new drainage gullies, and composite deck on top. Problem solved.”
“They felted our flat garage roof as a temporary measure while we save for GRP. Honest about it being a 10-year solution, quoted fairly, and the workmanship is excellent for a budget option.”
