Built for the Long Run

Why Is There Lead on my Roof?

Lead has been used on roofs for centuries and there’s a reason it’s still trusted today. When installed correctly, it lasts longer and works better than alternatives.
Lead flexes and expands with heat and movement, resists corrosion, and creates a watertight seal that protects your roof for decades.

Leadwork Benefits

  • Lasts far longer than most other roofing metals
  • Resists rust and atmospheric damage
  • Recyclable and more carbon-friendly than many modern alternatives
  • Adds a clean, timeless finish to the roofline
  • Works well with slate, tile and timber roofing

We use high quality milled lead and fit it by hand using time-tested methods.

Why Our Metalwork Holds Up

  • Every job backed by experience, skill and care
  • Over 30 years working with slate and traditional roofing
  • We understand how slate, tile and metal work together
  • No subcontractors, just a small, experienced team
  • Careful detailing that respects the look of your home

If your roof is leaking around the chimney, showing rust in the valleys or needs a small Colorbond addition added cleanly, we’re here to help. We’ll take a proper look, explain what needs to be done, and carry out the work ourselves.

Unreservedly recommend, and I'm a hard marker. SRR completely restored our heritage listed house's slate roof in a heritage listed street in Woollahra with a level of professionalism and civility rarely seen these days, not to mention the very competitive costings -- proud owner of the best roof in the street.

It was a pleasure to have the Slate Roof Restorations team re-slate our federation home on Sydney's north shore. Professional, consultative, communicative and perfect clean-up after the job. The roof looks spectacular and our prior issues with water leaks and possums have completely been addressed. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

This was my first time using Slate Roof Restorations, and I can confidently say it won’t be the last! With over 20 years in the building industry, I know a top-quality company when I see one. They were efficient, competitively priced, and left the site spotless. Most importantly, their communication was outstanding—a crucial factor for me and my building company. Highly recommend. Thank you!

We had a few Sydney-based slate companies to repair the slate roof after storm damage, with not a great outcome, including cracked slates remaining and several leaks through, inferior workmanship.. I then called Oliver Stearman at Slate Roof Restorations who was able to fix all problems, including the water leaks and secure the roof, without over- promising and under-delivering, which was a constant with the previous companies. I couldn't recommend Slate Roof Restorations more highly. The quality of their work is outstanding. Their professionalism and dedication to their craft is unmatched

Oliver and his team did an excellent job on our aging and damaged slate roof, and returned multiple times to ensure it was 100% right. I have no hesitation in recommending their services - thank you so much

Leadwork And Metal Roofing FAQs

Have questions about our roofing services or process? Find clear answers to some of the most common inquiries below.

Lead has been used in roofing for centuries and remains one of the most trusted materials available. When installed correctly it is perfectly safe and outlasts most modern alternatives. It flexes and expands with heat and movement, resists corrosion, and creates a watertight seal that protects vulnerable areas of your roof for decades. Its long track record is precisely why it is still the material of choice on heritage and slate roofs across Sydney.

Lead flashing seals the joints between your roof and adjoining surfaces, around chimneys, vents, walls, and valleys, where water is most likely to find its way in. Without properly fitted flashing, even a well-laid slate or tile roof will eventually leak at these junctions. It is one of the most important and often overlooked parts of a roof system, and when it fails it can cause damage well beyond the roof itself.

We handle a full range of metalwork including lead flashings around chimneys, vents, and walls, lead valleys, box gutters and hidden drainage, ridges, hips and step flashings, repairs to rusted or damaged metalwork, Colorbond additions on extensions and awnings, and matching new metal sections to existing slate or tile roofs. We also assist with stormwater planning and water flow protection where drainage is a concern.
