Lead and copper

Lead roll effect conservatory roof

Lead roll effect conservatory roof installed using Polyroof 185 system in a lead green finish. This system is specified by many conservatory suppliers who have recognised the unique ability to produce complex shapes in a totally seamless and attractive finish.

Stately home on the Scottish borders

This roof of this stately home on the Scottish borders was refurbished using the Elastex system. The original lead roof was in a poor state of repair and in need of replacement. Unfortunately funds did not stretch to the replacement of the lead, so a cost efficient alternative was found by using Elastex, overlayed onto the original substrate.

Note that the coating of lead requires considerable involvement from technical services to ensure that no problems are sealed within.

Shop front in Banbury

Shop front in Banbury in a lead effect finish using the Polyroof 185 system. The lead roll finish is consistent with this period building. The new roof is not only cosmetically attractive but is also vandal resistant. Not surprisingly, Polyroof 185 is being increasingly specified for this type of work.

Warwickshire Council

The Gable ends for this Warwickshire Council building were originally specified in copper. This was changed to Polyroof 185 with a roll effect to produce a finish that was equally attractive but less expensive.

Blackpool Tower

These sections of the Blackpool Tower were originally specified in copper. This was changed to Polyroof 185 with a roll effect to produce a finish that was equally attractive but less expensive. 

Caol School near Fort William

Caol School near Fort William, Scotland, was originally covered in lead which had been leaking for many years, creating a major headache for the Highland Council. The old roof has now been encapsulated using the Elastex system to provide a seamless cold applied alternative at a cost efficient price, which will last for many years to come. The finish is resistant to vandalism and has no scrap value.
