Swanton Morley is one of mid-Norfolk's larger and more characterful villages, with a wide range of properties from medieval church-side cottages to post-war housing where lead work plays a critical waterproofing role.
The area around All Saints' Church and along Angel Road includes some of the oldest domestic buildings in the Wensum valley, where original lead work may be a century old or more. We frequently find lead that has hardened and cracked from thermal fatigue — this is normal at that age and a straightforward re-lead resolves it permanently. Swanton Morley also has a number of newer detached houses where lead soakers between abutting roof slopes have simply been omitted by the original builder, causing persistent leaks that are often misdiagnosed.
Being minutes from Dereham means we can offer a free same-week survey for most Swanton Morley enquiries. We carry stock of code-4 and code-5 lead sheet, so most domestic jobs can be completed in a single visit once materials are confirmed.
