This is to show the process of lead being welded to create the apron at the bottom of a chimney stack for Croft Farmhouse. The work was carried out at Bowe Barn, Keswick and not on site as we are not allowed to use anything that can cause a fire in our properties so this reduces the risk of fire damage. A permit needs to be obtained from the property's General Manager. The process of lead welding has been developed instead of beating the lead into the shape required. Oxygen and acetylene is used to get the lead up to the correct temperature to enable it to be shaped.
