Lead Roofing
LEAD ROOFING SYDNEY
Lead roofing is a highly specialised craft that requires in depth knowledge particularly in regards to installation and thermal movement.
Lead roofing is mainly used on heritage listed buildings, and more commonly used on sandstone parapets and cornices. Lead is commonly used with slate roofing, most notably on the hips/ridge of the roofing as well as any vents/gablets that penetrate the slate roof.
