Mark StubbingsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job on our dormer windows and the roof. Very professional and gave us helpful advice. Kept to timescales and budget. Would definitely use them again. Caroline RunhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted symmetry leadwork as we had a leak in a lead flat roof and the roof needed replacement. They came out to visit very quickly and put together a competitive quote. We agreed to this, and they scheduled in the work including the scaffolding. They came to site on the dates promised and carried out the work to a good standard in the timescales they set out. Overall, we were very happy with their work. John HartlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Symmetry Lead Work did an excellent job of replacing the 5.5m² lead roof of our 1932 SW facing bay window. It had started to leak in 2024 after 92 years of life. It had had no maintenance for the last 40 years, but the lead was cracked and had been patched in the past. In doing the replacement Symmetry Lead Work improved the detailing by installing an underlay and using three upstands (they call them rolls) instead of one. This divided the roof into smaller areas. (Sheets of lead are joined by fitting the edges over the rolls.) The work involved removing and refitting adjacent roof tiles. Symmetry Lead Work also arranged and managed the erection and removal of scaffolding which was in place for less than a week. J HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave came out to repair a leaking chimney and installed new flashings. We then also had three windows and gullies replaced with new lead. Not only did the work get done really quickly and reliably but it was a real pleasure having Symmetry work on the building. Really knowledgeable and great repairs and very nicely installed new leadwork.
