Bay window roofs on Victorian terraces are a common leak point. Properties near the River Lea experience hig In Leyton, 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.
