Bawdeswell sits where the A1067 crosses the Wensum valley, and the village's older brick cottages and converted farm buildings are typical of an area where good-quality lead work is essential to long-term roof performance.
Many properties in and around Bawdeswell were built using Norfolk red brick with clay pantile or plain tile roofs, and the chimney stacks on these homes are a common source of water ingress once the original lead step flashings begin to lift. Repointing the lead into the mortar joints and dressing it correctly against the stack stops the problem at source. Lead valley gutters on the cottage-style roofs here are another regular job for us — particularly where a rear extension meets the main roof slope.
We cover Bawdeswell as part of our regular north and west Dereham run, alongside nearby Foxley and Foulsham. If you've noticed damp patches on a chimney breast wall or ceiling staining near a valley, call us for a free roof survey rather than waiting for the next wet spell to confirm the worst.
