The majority of buildings in Great Walsingham are of brick and flint construction, and walls like that set the terms for the roof above them. Flint does not forgive standing water. Once a slipped course or a failed valley lets rain track down behind a wall head, the damage turns up in the masonry long before anyone thinks to look up. We work on roofs here with that in mind: full strips and re-covers, repairs to ridges, verges and valleys, fresh leadwork to abutments and chimneys, and gutter and fascia work so rainwater leaves the building rather than soaking into it. Small jobs too, if a gale has taken a few off. We cover Great Walsingham along with Great Snoring and Barsham.
Great Walsingham sits to the north-east of the Little Walsingham historic core and newer residential development. The River Stiffkey runs through the village, and the ford on Westgate Street forms part of its character, which is worth knowing before you send a loaded van and trailer through. The village also falls inside the Walsingham Conservation Area, designated in December 1974, so a re-cover here has to sit right with what is already on the surrounding roofs.
Pantiles are the covering to expect on the older property here. Foundry Farmhouse is prominent in the street with its steep pantiled roof. A steep pitch sheds water well, but it works the nails and battens hard, so slipped and cracked pantiles, worn ridge bedding and tired verges make up most of what we get called out to.
