Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about lead cavity trays, heritage leadwork, and our installation services. If you need further information, our team is always happy to provide expert advice.

A lead cavity tray is a waterproof barrier installed within cavity walls to prevent water from penetrating into the inner leaf of masonry. They're essential above windows, doors, and at DPC level to direct moisture safely outward through weep vents. Without properly installed cavity trays, water ingress can cause damp patches, structural damage, and costly repairs.
When professionally installed and properly maintained, lead roofing typically lasts 60-100+ years. BS EN 12588 milled lead sheet is exceptionally durable and resistant to weathering, UV damage, and thermal movement. Many historic buildings still have original lead roofs from centuries ago. We provide guarantees on our workmanship and use the correct lead codes for each application to ensure maximum longevity.
Yes, heritage and conservation work is one of our specialisms. Our craftsmen are experienced in working with Listed Building consent requirements and conservation officer specifications. We understand traditional leadworking techniques and use appropriate materials and methods that respect historic fabric while meeting modern Building Regulations. We provide full documentation and method statements for conservation projects.
Absolutely. Retrofit cavity tray installation is a core service we offer for properties suffering from damp issues due to missing or failed cavity trays. We carefully cut slots into the mortar joints, install Code 4 or Code 5 lead cavity trays, and reinstate the brickwork with matching mortar. This provides a permanent solution to cavity-related damp problems without major structural work.
