Histon has a character all its own — part historic village, part busy commuter settlement — and the variety of property types here means we carry out lead work on everything from Victorian brick terraces to 1980s detached houses.
The older streets around the High Street and Station Road feature solid Victorian and Edwardian builds where lead chimney flashings and back gutters are original features that last well if maintained. When they reach the end of their life, they need replacing in the correct code of lead — not patched with mortar or sealant, which is a common and costly mistake we're frequently called to rectify in Histon. The newer estates built from the 1970s onwards present a different challenge: lead soakers around extensions and conservatory roofs that were never particularly well installed.
We cover Histon and neighbouring Impington together, and our response times from Cambridge are typically same-week. Call us for a free lead work survey on your Histon property.
