Gressenhall's mix of traditional Norfolk farmhouses and cottages around the workhouse museum demands skilled lead work to keep roofs weathertight for decades.
The older properties in Gressenhall — particularly the brick-and-flint cottages near the Rural Life Museum — often have lead flashings around chimney stacks and dormers that date back generations. When that lead lifts, splits or develops pinhole leaks, water tracks into the roof space long before any visible damp appears inside. We survey the full run of lead work, not just the obvious failure points.
Our team works regularly across this part of mid-Norfolk, so we understand the particular exposure these roofs face to driving westerly weather rolling in across open farmland. All lead is code-4 or code-5 sheet to BS EN 12588, installed with proper roll joints and clips — no shortcuts.
