The material
Lead and copper are two metals that have been used for centuries on roofs to protect slates, tiles, chimney stacks and dormer windows as well as to emphasis particularly ornate features, such as domes, turrets and spires. More recently aluminium, zinc, tin and stainless steel have also been used as a roof covering on buildings, some of which have now been recognised for their historical significance such as early 20th Century Methodist chapels and the air raid shelters from World War II.
The skill
Lead workers are recognised for their specialist skills in shaping lead sheet and other metals into different details, either by bossing or lead welding to make the different component items for the job. Whilst you will specialise in lead, many leadworkers offer services in copper, zinc, and stainless steel.
