Haverhill's rapid post-war expansion brought thousands of houses onto the Suffolk-Essex border, many of which now have ageing lead flashings around chimneys and flat-roof extensions that are well past their reliable service life.
Much of Haverhill's housing stock dates from the London overspill developments of the 1960s and 70s — a period when lead details were often cut thin and poorly secured. Chimney step flashings on these properties are a frequent source of roof leaks, and the low-pitch flat-roof extensions common to this era are equally prone to failed abutment lead where the upstand has lifted or corroded. Catching this early saves significant internal damage.
We cover Haverhill and the surrounding villages including Steeple Bumpstead and Kedington, carrying out lead repairs and full replacements to BS EN 12588 standard. If you've noticed damp patches on a chimney breast wall or at the junction of an extension roof, call us to arrange a free on-site survey — we'll tell you exactly what lead detail has failed and what it will cost to fix.
