GREAT CHOICE
FOR ROOF REPLACEMENT
We carry out lead roofing work using rolled sheet lead made to British standards, giving you a durable finish that stands up to harsh weather. At B & D Roofing & Building, based in Gorebridge, we handle projects across Edinburgh, Fife, Borders, and Lothians with the kind of practical judgement that only comes from decades on site. Lead suits everything from chimney flashings to flat roof coverings because it can be shaped neatly around awkward details where leaks often start. It also makes sense when you want a material that looks right on an older building without feeling out of place on a newer one.
A properly designed and installed lead roof can last for more than 150 years, which makes it a serious long term investment rather than a quick patch. If your current roof is tired, cracked, or letting water in around joints, we can use leadwork to give you a tougher answer that still looks smart.
FROM REPAIRS TO COMPLETE ROOFS
Our lead workers are highly skilled and have many years of onsite experience. As a material, lead is:
-
Multi-purpose
-
Appropriate for both heritage and new build properties
-
Combines effectively with other materials
-
Can reduce risk of water damage and be aesthetically pleasing
-
Is 100% recyclable, (almost all the lead in use in Britain today is recycled)
So, for everything from lead flashing and protective sheeting to lead dormers and decorative bays, always be assured that B & D Roofing & Building will have the best solution for you.

GREAT CHOICE
FOR ROOF REPLACEMENT
Our leadwork covers traditional and heritage detailing, vertical cladding, internal gutters, parapet gutters, valleys, watergates, and cover flashings. That matters because the weakest parts of a roof are rarely the big open areas. Trouble usually starts where surfaces meet, where water slows down, or where old materials have shifted over time. We shape and fit each section to suit the structure in front of us, so the finished work performs properly instead of simply looking tidy on day one. Lead also combines well with other roofing materials, which helps when part of your roof needs careful restoration rather than wholesale replacement.
If you require a roof replacement or restoration, lead work is a great choice. Our team will assess the quality of your roof and find the best options for you. Lead is a popular choice as it’s one of the oldest waterproofing materials used in construction, not only because it’s fully recyclable but malleable and long lasting. As one of the most important areas of your home, you need roofing services that you can rely on.
