Thorpe St Andrew sits above the Yare valley with a housing stock that ranges from substantial Edwardian villas near the river to 1960s closes on the higher ground, and both types regularly need leadwork attention.
The larger detached and semi-detached houses along Yarmouth Road and the roads leading down to the river often have multi-stack chimneys, lead-lined valleys between rear extensions and dormer windows with lead cheeks — all of which need periodic inspection and re-dressing. We see a lot of properties in Thorpe where the lead has been pointed over with mortar year after year until the flashing is effectively cemented in place and has cracked under movement, which only delays rather than prevents a leak.
Properly fitted leadwork in Thorpe St Andrew should last several decades without intervention when cut and dressed to the right code for the application. We survey at roof level, identify the actual source of any water ingress, and give you a straight written quote before any work starts.
