Kesgrave is one of Ipswich's fastest-growing suburbs, and although much of the housing is relatively modern, lead flashings around chimneys, dormers and extensions are still a regular source of roof problems we are called out to fix.
The estates built across Kesgrave from the 1970s onwards tend to feature brick chimneys with stepped lead flashings and soakers, and these joints are now at an age where the original lead can start to fatigue or lift as the pointing behind it fails. We often find that what looks like a minor drip in a bedroom ceiling traces back to a flashing that has pulled away by just a few millimetres.
We also cover the growing number of extensions and loft conversions in Kesgrave where new roof planes meet existing structures - these junctions need correctly sized lead soakers and cover flashings to stay watertight long term. Because we are based in Ipswich, we are on site quickly and know the local building styles well. Ring us for a free lead work survey.
