Icklingham is a small Breckland village with some of the most characterful older properties in the Mildenhall area — and their lead work needs expert hands.
Icklingham sits on the River Lark south of Mildenhall, within the Breckland landscape, and its housing stock is genuinely old — flint and brick cottages, some with clay pantile roofs, and a handful of farmsteads that have been converted or extended over the years. Lead flashings on these buildings have often been over-painted or patched with mastic, which masks deterioration without solving it.
We strip back failed repairs and install new dressed lead properly, bedding it into raked mortar joints and securing with lead tacks rather than relying on sealant alone. For a small village like Icklingham, we'd always recommend a thorough inspection of all lead details in one visit rather than repeated call-outs. Contact us to arrange that.
