Sheringham's coastal homes take a battering from North Sea weather, and sound leadwork is one of the most important defences against damp working its way in.
Sheringham is full of Edwardian terraces and Victorian seafront properties, many with original chimney stacks, bay window roofs and pitched slate roofs that rely on lead flashing to stay watertight. Salt-laden air accelerates the deterioration of lead, mortar fillets and sealants, so we see failed flashings here far more often than inland. A properly dressed and code-fixed lead flashing on a Sheringham chimney should last 50 years or more — bodged repairs with sealant tape last months.
We work regularly across Sheringham, from the older streets near the Fishermen's Heritage Centre to the newer housing estates on the Cromer Road side of town. Every job is surveyed properly before we start, and we carry out all lead work to BS EN 12588 standards. Call us to arrange a free lead work inspection — no ladders required on your part.
