While many are built to last, it is common for a roof to have at least one or two issues that may need fixing. This could be from general wear and tear, or a natural disaster may have caused damage. Whatever the case you need to think about how you’re going to fix it.
Lead roofing is one of the most popular styles of roofing materials used for roof repairs for a number of reasons, so read on to learn more about the benefits of lead work.
Long-Lasting
Quality lead work is incredibly long-lasting, and if installed correctly can last up to 150 years with little maintenance or upkeep involved. Lead has great flexibility which enables it to expand when it's hot and contract when it gets cold. Other materials can be weakened when it expands and contracts, but lead can do this without taking a toll on its durability.
Aesthetics
Lead roofing looks great, seamlessly blending into your existing roof and complementing any other architecture. It is usually black in appearance, which makes it easily matched with all types of property.
Suitable For All Types Of Buildings
Lead roofing is a great material for all types of projects, including heritage and new build properties. It’s a very malleable material, so will be able to be shaped for even the strangest architecture. This is why it’s popular on older buildings with awkward shapes such as spires.
Waterproof
Lead work is waterproof, perfect for ensuring there are no leaks when it rains. Water damage can ruin homes, destroying possessions and the structure of the house. So using lead roofing will give you the peace of mind that your property is safe.
Recyclable
Lead is 100% recyclable and the lead you install on your roof will probably already be recycled from another source. This means if you ever need to replace your roof or make improvements, you can rest easy knowing your old lead roofing will be further recycled and not harm the environment. It will simply be melted down and reformed, with no compromise to its weatherproofing or durability.
