  • Formed in 1984 to prioritise quality standards in leadwork.
     
  • LCA now comprises over 100 specialist contractors committed to providing quality craftsmanship for their clients, supported by 15 associate members supplying materials and ancillary services.

  • Members may be sole traders, partnerships or an incorporated body and utilise an employed workforce or teams of subcontractors. 

  • Regardless of structure, members are required to take full responsibility for the purchase and application of the lead sheet under their control.

  • All members are required to work to the current Code of Practice (BS6915) and the recommendations of the Lead Sheet Association.

  • An annual vetting programme provides rigorous quality control of members’ standards, through compulsory on-site inspection of workmanship and design.

  • Every member is graded according to the quality and complexity of work inspected.

  • Anyone failing to meet the standards set is required to withdraw from membership. 

  • Grades are published annually in the Directory of Specialist Leadwork Contractors. (click here to get your copy)

  • Every member guarantees their work for 25 years, the guarantee being administered by the LCA and insurance supported through Lloyd’s of London, on jobs over £2,500.
  • The LCA is controlled by an elected Council of Member’s representatives and administered by an appointed Secretary, from an office base in West Sussex.
