Specialist Leadwork Across Cambridgeshire
Expert Lead Roofing & Leadwork in Huntingdon & Cambridgeshire
Lead has been used in roofing for centuries, and for good reason. Tough, flexible and incredibly long-lasting, it forms the watertight seal at the vulnerable points of a roof where other materials tend to fail. At HLM Roofing Company, we carry out specialist lead roofing and leadwork across Huntingdon and the wider Cambridgeshire area, protecting the joints, valleys and junctions that keep your roof properly sealed against the weather.
Leadwork is a genuine craft, and it’s most often found where a roof meets something else, around chimneys, in valleys, along abutments, and beneath windows. These are exactly the spots where leaks so often start, so getting the lead right is essential. Our family-run team has the specialist skills to form and fit lead flashing that sits neatly, seals tightly and keeps water firmly on the outside of your home where it belongs.
Working with lead well takes real experience, and with more than 20 years in the trade, it’s something we’ve refined over countless roofs. We use the correct grade of lead for each application, dress and fix it properly, and finish it neatly so it not only performs but looks the part too. Whether it’s fresh leadwork on a new roof or replacing tired, cracked flashing on an older property, we do it to a standard that lasts.
As a local, family-run roofing company, our reputation depends on this kind of careful, skilled work. Choose HLM Roofing Company for your lead roofing and leadwork and you’ll get honest advice, expert craftsmanship and a watertight finish, all backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Common Questions About Leadwork
Frequently Asked Questions
Got some leadwork that needs attention but have a few questions first? Below you’ll find answers to the things we’re asked most often about lead roofing and leadwork in Huntingdon and across Cambridgeshire. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, our friendly team is always happy to help.
What is lead flashing and where is it used?
Lead flashing is a weatherproof seal used where a roof meets another surface, such as a chimney, wall or valley. It bridges these joints and directs water away, protecting the vulnerable points where leaks are most likely to develop.
Why is lead used instead of other materials?
Lead is exceptionally durable, flexible and long-lasting, which makes it ideal for sealing the awkward joints and junctions on a roof. Properly fitted, it can last for decades, outperforming many of the alternatives.
How do I know if my leadwork is failing?
Cracked, split or lifting lead, and any damp or staining appearing near chimneys, walls or valleys, are common signs that flashing is failing. If you’ve noticed a leak in these areas, worn leadwork is often the culprit.
Can you replace just the flashing rather than the whole roof?
Yes. In many cases, failing flashing can be replaced on its own without touching the rest of the roof. We’ll inspect the leadwork, advise whether a repair or renewal is needed, and carry out the work with minimal disruption.
Is leadwork included when you fit a new roof?
Absolutely. Fresh leadwork around chimneys, valleys and abutments is an important part of a properly fitted new roof, and it’s all handled by our own team as part of the job, so everything is sealed correctly from the start.
How do I get a quote for leadwork?
Getting a quote is easy. Call us on 07577 273923 or fill in our online form, and we’ll arrange a convenient time to inspect the leadwork and provide a free, no-obligation estimate.
