As the value of lead has risen, any type of building with lead protection in its roof, or with lead pipes, is increasingly a target for thieves.
Lead theft can happen at any time and is a rapid operation, often creating further damage to the building as a result of the roof being stripped. We offer a 24-hour call out service to deal with any theft situations and install roof protection promptly.
We offer a service to install strong, impervious, polypropylene coverings that are a cost-effective way to:
- Substitute stolen lead if you have already suffered theft
- Prevent theft – by layering this protection over the existing lead tiles and pipes, making them impossible to remove.
- Deter attention from thieves as its black appearance makes it seem lead has already been removed.
- We offer a 20-year guarantee on materials and workmanship.
Lead is too valuable for thieves to ignore and as it becomes scarce those buildings with accessible lead become bigger targets. Investing in preventative action is way to prevent future costs and disruption resulting from theft and damage.
