I USE A MEMBER OF THE LEAD CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION TO DO ALL MY LEADWORK BECAUSE……………….

1. They guarantee their leadwork for 25 years
The £250,000 guarantee is Insurance backed and underwritten, so even if the contractor ceases to trade, the guarantee holds good

2. They work to published standards
BS6915 (the current code of practice for Design and Construction of Fully Supported Lead Sheet Roof and Wall Coverings)

Rolled Lead Sheet – The Complete Manual (the definitive guide to leadwork design and installation, published by the Lead Sheet Association)

3. Their lead work is regularly inspected as part of an organised programme
Vetting is a “hands-on” inspection at rooftop level and conducted by a member of the LCA Council. A failed vet means membership can be withdrawn if not put right at the LCA contractor’s own expense within a set deadline.

4. Their work is graded and the grades are published in the Annual Directory
(S) Satisfactory (G) Good (E) Excellent

5. They support training for the workforce and are working with the Lead Sheet Association to provide courses from the LSA Training Centre in Kent.

6. They can assist in the design and detailing of a leadwork installation and many offer a full design warranty.
