Cromer's clifftop position and relentless North Sea weather make properly installed lead flashing an absolute necessity on the town's Victorian and Edwardian seafront properties.
The period properties along Cromer's clifftop streets — many of them double-fronted Victorian villas with elaborate chimney stacks and steep pitched roofs — take a battering from salt-laden wind and driven rain for months on end. Lead flashing that hasn't been correctly dressed to Code 4 or Code 5 will lift, crack, and allow water behind the masonry far faster here than it would thirty miles inland. We work regularly on the tall chimney stacks and dormer roofs so characteristic of Cromer's seafront and town-centre housing.
A failed chimney flashing on a Cromer property can let water track down inside a breast wall for months before it appears as a damp patch indoors — by which point the damage is already done. We dress and fix lead to the correct specification, using stainless fixings and proper mortar pointing suited to coastal exposure. Call us to book a free lead work survey on your Cromer property.
