North Elmham is one of Norfolk's most historically layered villages, and its older stone and flint buildings bring some of the most demanding leadwork challenges we encounter.
Properties near the ruined Saxon cathedral and along the B1110 frequently feature original flint rubble construction with aged lead soakers and step flashings bedded into lime mortar joints — once those joints crack, water finds its way in quickly. Dormer windows on converted farm buildings and older cottages along Station Road are another common source of slow leaks caused by failed lead aprons.
We cut and dress new lead on site using traditional methods, forming it properly to the flint or brick rather than relying on sealant as a shortcut. North Elmham is around ten miles north of Dereham and we schedule visits there regularly — contact us to arrange a roof survey.
