Professional lead work across Upminster (RM14). Free quotes, 10-year guarantee.
Upminster is one of East London's most affluent suburbs with large detached properties along Hall Lane, Corbets Tey Road, and St Mary's Lane. Many are individually designed with complex roof geometry — multiple hips, valleys, dormers, and feature chimneys. Roofing materials range from natural slate on Edwardian and inter-war properties to concrete tiles on 1960s-70s houses. The Upminster conservation area around St Laurence Church includes listed buildings requiring heritage-grade materials.
Chimney flashing replacement is the most common lead work in Upminster at £450–£800 per stack. Properties along Hall Lane have chimneys on every party wall — multiple lead-to-masonry junctions that fail over time. We use Code 4+ lead as minimum.
For properties targeted by lead thieves, we offer SmartWater marking (£80–£150) or Ubiflex alternatives (£45–70/m) with no scrap value.

Lead Sheet Association guidance specifies Code 4 (1.8mm) as the minimum thickness for stepped flashings and Code 5 (2.24mm) for valley gutters and flat roofs. Thinner grades do not meet BS EN 12588 requirements. Source: LSA Rolled Lead Sheet Manual.

“Full Welsh slate re-roof on our Edwardian terrace. They sourced reclaimed Penrhyn slate that matches the neighbours perfectly. Even the conservation officer commented on how good it looked. Worth every penny.”
“Valley replacement on our Victorian terrace. Old lead was paper-thin and leaking at every lap joint. New Code 5 lead valleys with proper soakers at every slate course. Beautifully done.”
“Our Becontree Estate semi needed a complete re-roof — the 1930s clay tiles were crumbling and the battens underneath were rotten. Four days from start to finish, new concrete tiles, all new battens and felt. Looks brilliant.”
