Sheringham's steep-roofed Edwardian villas and the tight flint cottages along the old town seafront put lead work under real pressure from salt-laden north winds, and we carry out full lead replacement and repairs across the town.
Sheringham has a higher concentration of clay pantile roofs than almost anywhere else on the North Norfolk coast, and pantile valleys present a specific challenge — the deep profile of the tile means valley lead must be dressed with care to maintain the correct water channel without cracking along the folds. Many properties on the hillside streets above the town, including the larger detached houses near the golf club, also have substantial chimney stacks that step across two or more roof planes, requiring well-cut code-weight lead rather than the torch-on alternatives sometimes used by general builders.
Salt air accelerates the oxidisation of poorly fitted lead, so correct patination oil application and adequate expansion allowance at fixing clips genuinely extends the working life here by years. We work on both the Edwardian properties in the upper town and the older fishermen's cottages nearer the seafront, and we can usually reach Sheringham within a day of your call. Ring us to book a free survey of your flashing or valley before the next north-easterly arrives.
