LEADWORKS PROJECT

Main Contractor: Historic Property Restoration

Client: English Heritage

 

To renew 60m of Code 8 lead to external stone plinth. The previous lead was in 3m lengths with welded joints due to the full flat surface of the stone. 

We removed all lead to plinth & upstands. 

Code 8 Lead with Neoprene expansion joints were installed using building paper to surface & chalk slurry to underside of lead. Code 7 Lead was installed to all upstands to perimeter.

Due to the shallow pitch of the slated roof we were asked by the architect to install a Code 8 Lead apron/flashing to full perimeter of eave to prevent wind uplift opposed to the standard 5U type bitumen felt.
