Hellesdon is one of Norwich's larger suburban parishes, with a strong concentration of 1930s to 1950s housing where original leadwork — where it survives — is now at or beyond its natural lifespan.
The semis and short terraces between Hellesdon Road and the NDR corridor typically have front-facing chimney stacks with apron and step flashings that were fitted when the houses were built. When these flashings start to crack or lift, many homeowners get a quick mortar repair rather than a proper lead replacement, which buys a year or two at best before the same problem returns. We cut out failed flashings completely and dress new lead to the correct code, bedding the steps properly into raked mortar courses.
Leadwork in Hellesdon is also needed on the various dormer bungalows and extended properties around the parish — side-extension abutments and valley gutters are common trouble spots. We cover Hellesdon from our Poringland base and offer a free roof-level inspection to identify exactly what needs doing.
