Mildenhall's mix of post-war housing estates and older market town properties presents a range of lead work challenges — and persistent leaks around chimneys and flat roof edges are among the most common calls we receive from the area.
The older housing around St Mary's Church and the market place includes solid brick chimney stacks with original mortar-pointed flashings that have long since failed. On the newer estates built from the 1960s onwards — common around Sheldrick's Road — flat and low-pitch roofs were finished with lead-dressed upstands and aprons that deteriorate as the lead fatigues and joints open up. Flat roof edges in Mildenhall properties typically need code 4 lead at a minimum, with proper drip edges formed to shed water clear of the fascia.
We cover all lead work in Mildenhall: chimney step and cover flashings, valley linings, flat roof perimeters and abutment flashings against dormer cheeks. Every job is done by qualified roofers working to BS EN 12588 standards — contact us for a free on-site assessment.
