This historic church in the Powys town of Landrindod Wells had had a significant amount of lead work stolen, including lead elevations and trim from all over the roof.
The owners' search for a theft proof alternative to lead, which would save both expense and inconvenience led them to look at the polymer roofing system, which accurately mimics the traditional look of lead but is valueless to metal thieves. They were also keen to use a local installer for the work, which is where we came in.
The very steep pitch was no problem for the ultra versatile polymer system. We were able to install a 20 year lead alternative system on the church roof which is fully theft resistant and also fully in keeping with the historic beauty of Llandrindod Wells.
If you are considering an alternative for stolen lead for your roof, we can honestly say we have never come across a better substitute. The polymer system is often known as "liquid lead" for its accuracy in mimicking the look and versatility of lead.
