Where is roof leadwork used?
Leadwork protects junctions around chimneys, walls, valleys, rooflights and vents. JDL forms the detail to suit the roof and the route water needs to take.
Can JDL repair existing lead flashing?
JDL installs and repairs roof leadwork. The junction is inspected before the detail is set out, formed and installed, with the water paths checked as part of the work.
Can photographs help with the first assessment?
Yes. Ground-level or safely taken photographs can provide useful context. A final specification may still require an on-site roof survey.
How soon will I receive my roofing quote?
After the site visit, JDL sends your written quotation within 48 hours. Most are sent within 24 hours.
