Attleborough's housing stock spans everything from 1930s bay-fronted semis to newer estate homes and older farmworkers' cottages on the rural fringes — and failing lead flashings are one of the most common causes of roof leaks across all of them.
The town sits in mid-Norfolk between Thetford and Norwich, and properties here are exposed to the kind of persistent driving rain that works its way under poorly dressed or cracked lead within a season or two. We carry out lead flashing repairs and new installations across Attleborough regularly — including chimney back gutters, step flashings on extensions, and valley lead on the older detached properties out towards Old Buckenham and Besthorpe.
Many of the 1960s and 70s-built homes in Attleborough have flashings that were installed with mineral felt rather than lead, and these are now reaching the end of their life. Replacing felt soakers and cover flashings with properly dressed lead is a permanent fix rather than a patch job. Call us to arrange a free roof survey and we'll tell you exactly what's needed.
