Walton-on-the-Naze is a small Essex seaside town where Victorian and Edwardian properties dominate the older streets, and the persistent coastal winds mean lead work has to be done properly to last.
Streets near the pier and the town's conservation area contain a high proportion of slate-roofed terraces and detached villas with multiple chimney stacks, bay windows and parapet details - all areas where lead is the material of choice for weathering junctions. We find that many of these properties have had flashings pointed up with mortar over the years rather than properly re-dressed, which only delays the problem.
Walton is also an area where properties have been extended and converted into holiday lets, meaning roofs sometimes carry a mixed history of repairs. Lead work in coastal Suffolk and Essex towns like Walton-on-the-Naze should be inspected every ten years as a minimum given the salt air exposure. We are happy to come out, assess the lead on your property honestly, and give you a clear written quote before starting any work.
