Door Canopy viable lead replacement

Locally to me, there have been a spate of thefts of lead being stripped from traditionally made flat roof porch canopies. I have seen almost a whole street of lead taken and the thieves simply sell it on. This makes all lead roof canopies or porches targets for crime. If there are numerous lead roof covering in a street or area it can make areas a hot spot for crime. Canopies that are similar to our Kensington or Kew models have been ruined by these thefts.

One of the biggest struggles with the lead being stripped, can often be protecting the timber underneath the roof. You may need to wait for someone available to replace the lead, which can sometimes take months. In the meantime this can cause damage to the timber frame, due to the elements or weather unfortunately. This may cause it to rot and can be irreparable if there happens to be a lot of bad weather.

The solution is a simple one. We have provided something that looks just as good and isn’t of value to thieves. By replacing the whole canopy with one of our range. We provide traditional GRP products that has has no attraction to lead thieves.

There’s more than just the theft concerns to benefit your piece of mind and home. The expense of replacing lead is also something you may want to consider. Our products also come with a 10 year manufactures guarantee, and has the added benefit of being maintenance free and has an authentic and traditional lead look.

A peace of mind solution.

      Hi Bev,
      All of our canopies have no inherent scrap value. Therefore, they are a deterrent to would be thieves. We have a number of canopies that have a ‘lead effect’ style roof to them and if you’d like to send me a pic of your existing door and canopy, along with the width of your door, i’d be happy to advise on a suitable replacement for you.
      Kind regards.
      Mike
