Downham Market sits just across the county border in Norfolk, and its handsome town centre of carrstone and brick buildings means lead work here often involves some of the most visually important rooflines in the area.
The distinctive honey-coloured carrstone used in many of Downham Market's older buildings — particularly around the Clock Tower and Bridge Street — sets the town apart visually. Properties here commonly feature lead valleys in complex multi-pitch roofs, chimney stacks with lead back-gutters and parapet copings with lead weatherings. Matching lead code and finish matters on these buildings, and we take care to work in keeping with the property's character.
We travel regularly to Downham Market from our Ely base and are familiar with the town's housing stock from period townhouses to the newer residential areas off the A1122. Lead valleys in Norfolk Fenland properties typically use Code 5 or Code 6 sheet — we survey and specify correctly rather than defaulting to the cheapest option. Call us to arrange a free roof survey.
