West Runton may be a small village, but its mix of flint-and-brick cottages and seaside holiday homes means leadwork failures are a common and costly problem we're called to fix.
Many properties in West Runton date from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, built with generous chimney stacks and steep-pitched roofs that channel rainwater into lead valleys. The village sits right on the coast between Sheringham and Cromer, exposed to prevailing northerly winds that push rain hard into any weakness in the lead. We regularly find original lead that has simply reached the end of its life — lead valleys installed in the 1970s are now 50 years old and showing fatigue cracking.
Whether it's a flint cottage on the high street or one of the chalets down near the beach, we'll give you a straight assessment of what needs replacing and what can be repaired. West Runton is a short drive from our Cromer base, so we can usually respond quickly. Call us to book a free roof survey and leadwork check.
