Cambridge's mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and centuries-old college buildings makes properly dressed lead work one of the most critical roofing repairs we carry out in the city.
From the bay-fronted houses along Mill Road and the tight chimney stacks of Romsey Town to the stone-built chapels and listed properties near the city centre, Cambridge has an unusually high proportion of older roofs where original lead has been in place for decades. When that lead cracks at a step flashing or lifts at a parapet abutment, water tracks into the structure fast — often before any staining appears inside.
We hand-dress all replacement lead on site to BS EN 12588 standard, which is a requirement on many Cambridge conservation and listed-building repairs. Whether it's a dormer valley on a Hills Road semi or a chimney apron on a Newnham cottage, we survey the full lead detail before quoting so there are no surprises on the day.
