About SMC Leadwork

“Traditional skills. Lasting protection”

Founded by Sam Colledge, SMC Leadwork brings over 20 years of specialist experience to the conservation of historic and architectural buildings across Australia. From post offices and cathedrals to courthouses and civic landmarks, Sam has built a reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with proven techniques to deliver exceptional results.

Our expertise covers lead roofing, flashings, cornices, parapet cappings, ridges, and prefabricated elements. We work closely with architects, builders, and heritage consultants to ensure every project is delivered to the highest standard.

We use only premium milled sheet lead and time-tested installation methods, giving our work the strength to endure for generations. More than installers, we act as trusted advisors, offering guidance on detailing, design, and specifications so that every project achieves lasting protection and architectural integrity.
