At Traditional Heritage, we specialise in lead work and maintain an impeccable standard in all historical building work that we carry out. Typically, lead is commonly known to expand and contract as weather conditions change, therefore, detailing must allow for this to prevent any change in shape or size. With this in mind, it’s important to call on the help of professionals when it comes to lead work; especially when this work is to be carried out on historical buildings or traditional homes.
Introduced for making water pipes as far back as Roman Empire times, Lead is now one of the most commonly used materials for a number of building purposes. Lead is a soft, flexible and extremely resilient heavy metal. These elements combined make it an excellent resource for building and construction, especially externally.
