March sits in the heart of the Fens, and the wind and rain that sweep across open farmland make sound lead work on your roof a practical necessity, not an afterthought.
Much of March's housing stock is semi-detached and terraced brick-built properties from the early to mid-twentieth century, many with chimney stacks that are still in use or have been capped. These stacks are a common trouble spot — the step and cover flashings work loose over years of thermal movement, letting water track down behind the breast and into the room below. On the town's older streets near the River Nene, we also see a fair number of dormer extensions where original lead dressing was cut short or poorly bedded.
We travel regularly from Downham Market to March and can usually carry out a lead survey and quote on the same visit. All our lead is Code 4 or Code 5 sheet, correctly lapped and wedged, with no silicone used as a substitute for proper craftsmanship. Lead work in March properties typically costs £200–£600 depending on the chimney size and number of flashings involved.
