From gutter to lead flashing
Lead and zinc replace, repair and install in Lelystad
Rainwater is collected and drained in the zinc gutter, and lead seals the points where your roof connects to the masonry. An open seam or a crack in that metal allows water to seep through to the wood and the wall below. A roof leak around the chimney often starts at that lead. We repair such a spot, or replace the lead and zinc if the metal is worn out. If you are looking for a zinc worker in Lelystad, you can come to us as your roofer for lead and zinc work. If a renovation of the entire roof is planned, that is the time to renew the lead and zinc, since the roof will be open anyway. You can read more about this on our page about roof renovation.

Something new lead and zinc work in Lelystad delivers for you
New lead and zinc work keeps rainwater out and drains it away via the gutters. Below you can read what the work delivers and what you receive from us.
A watertight connection
Properly installed lead seals the seam between the roof and the chimney or dormer. This keeps rainwater out.
Durable metal
Lead and zinc are resistant to the elements. As a result, properly installed metal lasts a long time.

The costs after measuring
What does it cost lead and zinc work in Lelystad?
The cost of lead and zinc work on your own roof depends on how much metal needs to be replaced or repaired. You can read this in our free, no-obligation quote. Because we always take measurements first, the price in that quote remains unchanged. If we discover rotten wood during the work, we will call you first.
This is how you recognize worn lead and zinc
Your zinc work in Lelystad due for replacement?
If you see holes in the zinc gutter, a solder joint is open, or the lead around the chimney is coming loose from the joint, the metal is due for repair. If you wait too long, water will run behind the connection and moisture will seep into the wall and wood. During a free inspection, we will tell you whether repair is still possible.
Answers about lead, zinc, and soldering
Questions about lead and zinc work in Lelystad
Below you can read whether you can solder lead to zinc, what falls under lead and zinc work, and when repointing is sufficient. You will know what your specific roof needs after we have come to take measurements.
Yes, lead and zinc can be soldered together with solder. Both metals must be clean for this, and zinc requires flux and a soldering iron that is hot enough. On a roof, this is compounded by working at height, with a seam that must remain watertight.
Yes, lead and zinc work well together on a roof, for example where a lead flashing connects to a zinc gutter. The two metals are compatible. The situation is different with copper, because rainwater running from copper over zinc corrodes the zinc.
Zinc work includes zinc gutters, zinc mouldings, and wall copings, while the roof trim along a flat roof is made of aluminium or zinc. Lead work is located where the roof meets the masonry, such as the lead flashing around a chimney and the lead in the joints. We will inform you which parts of your roof are due for attention after the measurements have been taken.
Because we use high-quality materials and our work is executed to a high standard, you receive a ten-year warranty on the lead and zinc work performed. You will receive the warranty certificate after completion, both on paper and digitally.
If the lead is only coming loose from the joint and the metal itself is still intact, repointing is often sufficient. If there is a crack in the lead or it has become thin, replacement is the better choice. We immediately inspect all points on your roof so that you know what your lead needs.

What do our say customers
RatingSuper satisfied! The roof inspection was completely free and we knew exactly where we stood right away, without any hassle afterwards.
Had new zinc cheeks and a neat bead moulding installed on the dormer. From the street side, it looks very sleek and handcrafted.
During a severe northwesterly storm, we experienced damp seeping in around the chimney in the attic. Nathaniel came to perform an inspection the very same day and showed with clear photos that the old leadwork was cracked. He immediately and expertly replaced the lead with durable, flexible roofing. Top-notch service and very pleasant to deal with!
