Sheringham's compact streets of flint-faced cottages, inter-war semis, and older fishermen's houses hide some of the most challenging lead flashing situations we encounter anywhere on the North Norfolk coast.
Sheringham sits in a natural hollow just back from the cliffs, which channels wind up through the town and drives rain hard into rooflines. The flint-and-brick cottages around the old town centre, along with the pebble-dashed semis climbing the hillside towards Upper Sheringham, tend to have low-pitched dormers, ageing chimney stacks, and in some cases original lead valleys that haven't been touched since the 1960s. Getting the lead Code right on these roofs — Code 4 for flashings, Code 5 or 6 for soakers and valleys — makes a genuine difference to how long a repair lasts.
We know Sheringham well and understand that access can be tight on the older back streets near the seafront. Our team brings the right equipment for awkward jobs and won't cut corners on dressing and fixing. If you've noticed damp near a chimney breast or around a dormer window, the flashing is the most likely cause — ring us for a free inspection and honest assessment of what's needed.
