Wisbech's Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces look magnificent — but their ageing lead flashings are among the most common sources of water ingress we're called out to fix.
The town centre around North Brink and South Brink is lined with period properties that still carry their original lead valleys and chimney flashings. After a century or more of freeze-thaw cycles in the flat Fenland climate, that lead lifts, cracks and lets water into roof timbers before most owners notice a problem. We re-dress and repoint step flashings, replace failed soakers on the slate roofs common in this area, and fit new lead aprons to the oversailing chimney stacks typical of Wisbech's Georgian architecture — all finished to BS EN 12588 standards.
We cover the whole Wisbech area including Wisbech St Mary and Guyhirn, and we're familiar with the slightly different construction methods used in the older Fenland farmhouses outside town. If you've spotted damp patches on a chimney breast or staining around a dormer, call us for a free lead-work survey rather than waiting for the problem to spread into the ceiling beneath.
