Heritage & Conservation Leadwork

Heritage & Conservation Leadwork

Traytek has extensive experience working on Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II listed buildings, providing sympathetic leadwork solutions that meet conservation officer requirements and preserve historic character.

Heritage buildings require particular expertise due to their unique construction methods, historic fabric, and strict planning constraints. Our team understands traditional leadworking techniques including bossing, bending, and hand-welding that are often essential for conservation projects. We work closely with conservation officers, heritage architects, and building surveyors to develop appropriate solutions.

Our heritage services include the restoration of historic lead roofs, traditional lead gutters and downpipes, period window and door trays, ornamental lead detailing, and remedial cavity tray installations that respect original construction. We source appropriate materials including reclaimed lead where specified, and ensure all interventions are reversible and minimally invasive where possible.

Every heritage project receives careful assessment, detailed method statements, and photographic documentation, ensuring work meets Conservation Area consent requirements and Listed Building regulations while protecting the property for future generations.
