Supply and fit, or labour only

Two ways to take the work on
01

Supply and fit

Paul prices the lead, the fixings and the labour as one job, orders the sheet in the right code for the detail and hands back a finished roof. One quote, one number to call, one person answerable for how it turns out.

02

Labour only

You supply the lead, Paul supplies the hands. Builders, main contractors and roofing firms use him this way for the leadwork their own teams do not cover, priced by the job or by the day, on your programme.

About Paul

A craftsman, not a general roofer

Lead is Paul's trade. From seafront domes to church gutters and one-off finials, he cuts, dresses and lead-welds every job by hand, then backs it up with general roofing when the rest of the roof needs doing. Based in Brighton, happy to travel across the South East for the right work.

What customers say

★★★★★

"Paul re-leaded the bay roof and box gutter on our Victorian terrace in Hove. You can see the craft in the welts. Not a drip since."

"We had three quotes for the parapet gutters on our building near Preston Park. Paul was the only one who actually specialises in lead. Superb job."

MMark D.
Brighton · Parapet gutters
★★★★★

"Chimney flashings and a full re-roof in Worthing. Tidy, on time, and the leadwork looks like it belongs on the house. Recommended him to the neighbours."
