Castle Rising is a village of real historical weight — and the properties here, from estate cottages to stone-built homes near the Norman castle, need lead work that matches their age and character.
The village is dominated by the twelfth-century castle keep and the almshouses of the Howard de Walden estate, and the general character of the built environment is one of solid, traditional construction that has been maintained with care. Roofs on estate cottages and period houses here tend to feature substantial chimney stacks, often with multiple flashings, as well as lead valleys where two roof pitches meet. Poorly maintained lead in these settings causes rapid damage to lime plaster ceilings and historic timbers.
We carry out historically sympathetic lead work in Castle Rising — re-flashing chimneys with correctly dressed step and cover flashings, re-lining valleys, and fitting new lead aprons around dormers and rooflights. All work meets BS EN 12588 and we take care to match existing lead profiles where the building's character demands it.
