Lead Contractors Association

Wensley Roofing Ltd is one of the very few members of the Lead Contractors Association based in North East England. This association of craftsmen is committed to promoting the highest quality standards in leadwork. Applications for membership are carefully vetted, and LCA members must have their work inspected regularly to ensure that the Association's high standards are maintained. In the last inspection (in 2008) Wensley Roofing's craftsmanship achieved the very highest grade: excellent.
