Costessey's mix of post-war semis and newer estates sits close enough to the Wensum valley that damp weather is a constant pressure on poorly dressed lead.
Much of Costessey - particularly around New Costessey - was built in the 1950s through to the 1980s, and many of those roofs are now at the age where original lead flashings around chimney stacks and party wall abutments begin to crack, lift, or pull away from the mortar joints. A failing chimney flashing on these properties is often the first sign of water tracking into a bedroom ceiling.
We dress lead by hand to the correct code and chase it into the mortar joint to the proper depth, rather than relying on sealant to do the job. If you have noticed damp patches appearing after heavy rain, a lead survey is a practical first step before any internal repair work is considered.
