Soham's largely flat fenland setting means water has nowhere to go but into your roof if lead flashings around chimneys and abutments are not keeping the weather out — we carry out lead work to the correct Code standard on properties across the town and surrounding fen villages.
Much of Soham was built in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, with brick terraces and semi-detached houses that share chimney stacks between properties — meaning a failing back gutter or stepped flashing affects two households at once. The town also has a number of bungalows with flat roof extensions where lead abutment flashings are a regular source of leaks, particularly where the original installation used undersized Code 3 lead that has fatigued with repeated thermal movement.
We cover Soham and the nearby settlements of Wicken, Fordham, and Isleham. Lead flashings on fen-edge properties take a battering from driving westerly rain, so getting the Code weight and drip details right matters — Code 4 minimum for soakers, Code 5 for cover flashings in exposed positions.
