Leadwork in Cheltenham
Good leadwork is what keeps a roof watertight where it's most vulnerable. S.P. Handcock & Sons Ltd carry out lead flashing, valleys and detailing across Cheltenham to a high standard, using the right code of lead for the job.
Most roof leaks start at the joints - around chimneys, valleys and abutments. Cheltenham homeowners rely on us to get the leadwork right so those weak points stay sealed for the long term.
We're a family-run firm based in Hucclecote, Gloucester with over 25 years' experience across Gloucestershire. Every job is carried out by our own experienced in-house team - not subcontractors - so quality and site safety stay consistent from survey to clean-up.

When to call us
Signs your leadwork needs attention
Leaks around the chimney
Most chimney leaks come from failed or poorly fitted lead flashing.
Cracked or lifting lead
Lead that has fatigued, split or lifted no longer keeps the joint sealed.
Staining on walls or chimney breast
Damp tracking down internal walls often starts at a lead detail outside.
Missing or stolen lead
Exposed joints where lead has been removed need renewing quickly.
