Ely's skyline is dominated by the Cathedral, but beneath it lies a city full of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing where lead flashings and valleys are the difference between a dry home and an expensive damp problem.
Properties in the streets around the Cathedral — Barton Road, St Mary's Street and the older terraces off Lynn Road — often have complex rooflines with multiple chimney stacks, hipped sections and dormer windows, all of which rely on well-dressed lead work to stay weathertight. The exposed Fenland position means Ely properties face driving rain from the west and significant temperature cycling through the year, both of which accelerate lead fatigue on poorly dressed or undersized flashings.
We travel to Ely from Mildenhall to carry out lead flashing replacement, valley renewals and parapet gutter lining using hand-dressed lead to the correct Code for each application. Lead flashing replacement on a single chimney stack in Ely typically costs £180–£320 depending on the number of courses and chimney size. Call us to arrange a free survey.
