My name is William Everitt, I started lead working 44 years ago as a assistant to a lead worker, over the next few years I was taught the lead roofing trade the from a great tradesman and now own and run a small company of quality lead workers. We use no subcontractors for our lead roofing and only the best materials for example the right code of lead (thickness) for the job, all our fixings are non ferrous and timber pressure treated. I know people can be rightly worried about trusting a lead roofing contractor so here is our promise to you.
Almost all new lead roofing sheets are produced from recycled raw materials. The scrap collection and recycling industry for lead is now so efficient that its collection rate is almost 100% which means that very little new lead needs to be dug from the ground. The other bonus for lead recycling is that it is done at relative low temperatures so harmful emissions and energy use are minimised. Lead is also very pleasing on the eye unlike felt roofs; no bumps or moss and as it ages it gets better looking, there is also something very reassuring knowing you have a quality cost effective beautiful lead roof keeping the elements at bay and adds that quality touch to your property.
Where theft could or has been a problem, using an alternative to lead can be the best choice. For some time now Everitt Lead Roofing have been asked for a lead replacement product that we would recommend and until recently we did not have an answer. We have been installing this product since its launch and for most situations we believe it is a great lead replacement. We install UBIFLEX flashing for major flat roofing companies in the London area. These roofs are insurance backed and inspected before they can be released with a 25 year guarantee.
