Fakenham's position as a busy North Norfolk market town means its rooflines include everything from Georgian town-centre properties to Victorian terraces and large detached houses on the outskirts — nearly all of them have lead somewhere on the roof.
The Georgian and Victorian buildings along Oak Street and Bridge Street often retain original lead valleys and chimney flashings that are well past their useful life; lead work on these properties was typically Code 3 or below, which is underweight by modern standards and prone to cracking as it ages. We re-dress these areas with Code 4 or Code 5 lead, cut properly on site, and tucked firmly into raked mortar joints rather than surface-fixed with clips alone.
Fakenham is around 12 miles north of Dereham and we have regular work across the town. Correctly installed lead valley gutters in Fakenham can be expected to last 60 years or more — a strong argument for doing the job properly once rather than patching every few years. Give us a call to arrange a free inspection of any suspect flashings.
