Attleborough has a broad housing stock — from Victorian terraces near the town centre to interwar semis and modern estates — and leadwork failures show up differently across all of them.
The older terraced streets off Church Street regularly come to us with chimney flashings that have been patched repeatedly with mastic rather than replaced properly. That approach buys a year at best. Bay window roof junctions on the Edwardian semis around Surrogate Street are another persistent problem; the lead apron flashing on a bay takes a lot of thermal movement and thin or poorly fixed lead splits within a few winters.
Lead flashing in Attleborough typically lasts 50 to 70 years when fitted to the correct code thickness and properly dressed into the mortar joint — rushed work with underweight lead rarely lasts a decade. We're about 12 miles south of Dereham and can usually get to Attleborough within a few days for an assessment.
