Grantchester is one of Cambridgeshire's most picturesque villages, and its thatched cottages, stone-built farmhouses, and historic Orchard Tea Garden setting mean lead work here requires particular care and the right experience.
A number of properties in Grantchester sit within the conservation area or are listed, which means any lead work — whether replacing a chimney flashing or relining a parapet gutter — must be done sympathetically and to a standard that won't draw conservation officer attention. We use traditional working methods where appropriate, including hand-bossing lead at internal corners rather than relying solely on welded joints, and we can advise on whether listed building consent is likely to be required before we start.
The village is less than three miles from our Cambridge base, so we can turn around surveys and quotations quickly. If you have an older property in Grantchester with suspected lead failure — common signs include damp patches on chimney breast walls or tide marks in roof spaces — call us to arrange a free inspection.
