Brancaster sits directly on the exposed north Norfolk coast, and the combination of salt air, driving rain, and strong westerly winds means leadwork on local properties needs to be done properly — there are no second chances on a roof this close to the sea.
The village has a good mix of Victorian brick villas, newer detached houses, and some older flint buildings, many of which have been extended or altered over the years. Those extensions and additions almost always create an abutment or parapet wall that relies on a lead flashing to keep water out. Lead flashings in Brancaster typically last 30–50 years when correctly specified, but coastal corrosion and thermal movement can shorten that considerably if the lead weight or fixing method is wrong.
We supply and fit Code 4, Code 5, and Code 6 milled lead sheet depending on the application — valley gutters, chimney back gutters, stepped flashings, and flat roof coverings. We're based in Wells-next-the-Sea, so we're on site in Brancaster quickly. Call us to arrange a free coastal property leadwork check.
