Downham Market's distinctive Victorian and Edwardian streetscape means chimney stack flashings and valley lead are a regular part of our work here.
The town centre around Railway Road and the older residential streets near St Edmund's Church are home to some well-preserved Victorian brick terraces and semi-detached properties, many with substantial chimney stacks that were built for coal fires and haven't been properly repointed or re-flashed since. In this part of Norfolk, lead that's been dressed flat without a proper chase into the brickwork is almost always the culprit when a chimney breast shows damp. Downham Market also has a number of older properties with pitched lead valleys that have been running for 40-plus years and are starting to crack at the bends.
We replace and re-dress lead to BS EN 12588 standards throughout Downham Market and can usually visit within a few days — call to arrange a free chimney or roof survey.
