Norman & Underwood are now the largest specialist traditional lead casting company in the United Kingdom, having been established in 1825. Since then the leadwork expertise of the company's craftsmen has been utilised in the repairing and restoration of not only the roofs of many of the finest historic buildings in the United Kingdom but also on similar prestigious projects throughout the world.

We specialise in lead casting, ornamental leadwork, and lead contracting. Lead casting is still carried out in the traditional way on open sand beds using a process that has changed little since Roman times. Utilising this method the highly skilled craftsmen can cast lead very accurately in thickness to suit the customers' individual requirements. The result is lead that is naturally formed and malleable and lends itself readily to cover roofs of Cathedrals, Churches, Palaces, Stately Homes and other similar buildings of distinction. For more information on our previous lead casting and roofing projects please see the Major Projects section.

The company's craftsmen, although experienced in leadwork, can also supply and fix hard metals such as copper, stainless steel, zinc and aluminium. In addition, the company specialises in the refurbishment and supply of rainwater goods as well as ornamental leadwork statues.

Accompanying the lead specialist areas is a full Technical Advisory Service whose estimators and surveyors are always happy to carry out surveys and provide detailed reports and costings as required.
