Professional Lead Installation Process
At PM Contracts, we follow a structured and meticulous process to ensure exceptional workmanship and long-lasting performance:
1. Free Survey & Assessment
A detailed on-site inspection is carried out to assess your roof, determine the appropriate lead specification, and identify any underlying issues before work begins.
2. Transparent Quotation & Planning
You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quotation with recommendations tailored to your property, requirements, and budget—no hidden costs, no pressure.
3. Premium Material Selection
We use only premium milled (rolled) lead, with Code 5 being the most commonly specified for roofing. This ensures optimal strength, flexibility, and durability in all applications.
4. Expert Installation
Our skilled leadwork specialists install each section with precision, ensuring accurate detailing at junctions, valleys, flashings, and other vulnerable areas for complete weatherproof protection.
5. Final Inspection & Quality Assurance
Once installation is complete, we carry out a thorough inspection to verify performance, finish, and compliance with industry best practices—delivering a watertight, durable, and visually immaculate result.

Why Choose Lead Roofing?
Investing in lead roofing is one of the smartest decisions you can make for long-term protection, value, and peace of mind. No other roofing material delivers the same level of performance, reliability, and return on investment.
 A Roof That Lasts a Lifetime
Lead roofing can perform for 100+ years, meaning most property owners will never need to replace it again — saving thousands over the lifetime of the roof.
Built to Withstand Scotland’s Weather
High winds, driving rain, freezing winters — lead handles it all. It expands and contracts naturally with temperature changes, delivering year-round watertight performance where other systems fail.
Maximum Protection for Your Property
Professionally installed leadwork creates an incredibly secure, watertight seal that protects your roof, walls, and interior from leaks, damp, and structural damage.
Virtually Maintenance-Free
Once installed, lead needs very little care — offering premium performance without constant repairs or ongoing costs.
Sustainable and Responsible Choice
Made from 100% recyclable material, lead is one of the most environmentally friendly roofing solutions available. You get premium performance while reducing environmental impact.
Enhances Property Appeal & Value
With a clean, timeless appearance, lead suits both modern architecture and traditional homes — boosting kerb appeal and adding lasting value to your property.
