How we put it right
The problem
The homeowner wanted to renew the existing roof over the front bay window and asked us to assess the available replacement options.
Why the work was needed
The existing leadwork had split, and water was pooling on the roof because the previous roof had been installed incorrectly.
What the homeowner wanted
A new lead covering with traditional mopstick roll joints and fully welded corner details, carefully formed to suit the bay roof.
The challenge
The lead needed to be accurately shaped around the bay and its corners.
The detailing also needed to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the lead, with mopstick roll joints between the roof sections.
Traditional mopstick roll joints accommodate movement between the lead sections, with welded detailing at the corners.
