Great Shelford's attractive mix of Victorian railway-era villas, older farmhouses, and well-maintained detached homes means lead work is a routine and important part of keeping these roofs watertight.
The village grew substantially after the railway arrived in the nineteenth century, and many of the larger houses along Woollards Lane and Cambridge Road date from that period. Lead valleys on these steeply-pitched roofs handle significant water volumes and, when they fail, water tracks quickly into ceiling joists and bedroom walls. We regularly replace lead-lined valleys on these properties, cutting and welting the lead correctly rather than simply laying it loose.
Great Shelford's close proximity to Little Shelford and Sawston means we cover the whole south Cambridge corridor efficiently. Code 5 lead valleys, chimney flashings, and parapet gutters are all within our regular scope here. Call us for a no-obligation roof inspection in Great Shelford.
