Ely's Isle setting and its stock of fenland cottages, Victorian brick terraces, and grand cathedral-close properties means lead work here ranges from small chimney repairs to substantial valley and parapet replacements on some of Cambridgeshire's most historic buildings.
The cathedral city character of Ely brings with it a large number of older properties — Georgian townhouses on the high ground near the cathedral, Victorian terraces running down towards the riverside, and converted farmhouses on the surrounding fen edge. Many carry original or early-replacement lead that has reached the end of its lifespan, particularly at chimney soakers and the rear valleys of dormer windows where rainwater pools in the flat Cambridgeshire climate.
We carry out lead work across Ely and into the surrounding villages including Littleport, Sutton, and Soham. Every job uses lead dressed to BS EN 12588 on site — not pre-formed sections pressed to shape elsewhere. For properties near the cathedral or in a conservation area, we can discuss code specification before work begins to ensure compliance. Call us to book a free lead work survey.
