Ecclesiastical Leadwork — Domes, Spires and Church Roofing Across the West Midlands

Q. Bytheway Leadworking Contractors have an extensive track record of leadwork conservation and new installation on ecclesiastical buildings across the West Midlands and beyond. Their 'Domes, Towers & Spires' portfolio spans the full range of challenges presented by church architecture — from intricate leadwork to complex curved surfaces, lantern roofs, and the high-level access work that spire and tower restoration demands.

Church commissions in the portfolio include the re-leading of a Birmingham church's main roof and associated flashings, and specialist leadwork to a prominent mosque in the West Midlands — demonstrating the breadth of religious heritage that the company serves. Work on heritage properties at The Crescent, Hagley, and elsewhere illustrates the company's equal capability on ornate domestic heritage buildings alongside ecclesiastical commissions.

All ecclesiastical leadwork is carried out to traditional standards, using Code 5 or Code 6 lead sheet as appropriate, with hand-bossing of corners and junction details, and patination oil applied on completion to ensure the longevity of each installation.
