💧 Got a leaky roof window that's past its prime?
When an old roof window becomes more of a source for leaks than light, it requires a professional touch to seal the area for good.
Gordon Swan Roofing Contractors recently completed a specialist leadwork and restoration project in Craigie (near Tarbolton), Ayrshire! We transformed a challenging, leak-prone section of this roof into a permanent, completely weather-resistant barrier.
Here is how we did it:
🪟 Velux Window Removal – We safely removed the redundant window to create a solid, uniform surface.
🛡️ Code 6 Lead Coverage – We sealed the opening with heavy-duty, premium-grade Code 6 lead, which is built to last centuries against the British weather.
🔨 Specialist Bossing – Using traditional techniques, we shaped the lead seamlessly around the corners without thinning the metal.
🧑🏭 Expert Welding & Repairs – We completed lead-welded patch repairs to fuse the new lead with the existing roof, leaving zero gaps for the rain.
With over 30 years of experience serving Ayrshire, we take pride in traditional roofing skills that protect your home for generations.
